NTSB Accidents

Probable cause: The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during takeoff, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from a tree while on approach to land.

Probable cause: The pilot under instruction’s failure to extend the landing gear and the flight instructor’s inadequate supervision and failure to ensure that the landing gear was extended.

Probable cause: The pilot’s decision to take off in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in a loss of directional control. 

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain an adequate approach path at night, which resulted in a tree strike.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during a rejected takeoff in gusting quarting tailwind conditions.

Probable cause: The pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from trees while maneuvering at a low altitude.

Probable cause: The pilot’s loss of directional control and long landing in gusting wind conditions due to his shoe getting stuck on the brakes.
