The pilot’s failure to arrest the descent rate during an aborted simulated engine-out approach, which resulted in impact with vegetation and a subsequent cartwheel.
NTSB Accidents
Student’s first solo bends 172
The student pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
Aborted landing goes awry
The student pilot’s failure to establish a positive climb rate during an aborted landing, which resulted in abnormal runway contact, a subsequent loss of directional control, runway excursion, and the right main landing gear collapsing.
Student hits taxiway sign
The student pilot’s loss of directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a collision with a taxiway sign.
Soft field takeoff ends in snowbank
The student pilot’s failure to maintain the runway heading during takeoff, which resulted in impact with a snowbank and a subsequent nose-over.
Hard landing injures balloon passenger
The pilot’s failure to maintain the proper descent rate during the approach to landing, which resulted in a hard landing and serious injury to a passenger.
Pilot ground loops while training for tailwheel endorsement
The pilot receiving instruction’s failure to maintain directional control during the takeoff roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and ground-loop, and the flight instructor’s failure to adequately monitor the pilot.
Student pilot’s touch and go goes wrong
The student pilot’s failure to maintain yaw control during takeoff, which resulted in an aborted takeoff and subsequent landing on grassy terrain, during which the airplane bounced and then nosed over.
Crosswind landing crumples Cirrus
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing with a gusting crosswind, which resulted in a runway excursion and the left wing impacting grass.
