NTSB Accidents

Probable cause: The pilot’s improper decision to fly the airplane with a known engine problem and his improper modification of the engine control unit fuel delivery software, which led to the engine running too lean and resulted in a total loss of engine power during climb.

Probable cause: The student pilot’s failure to maintain runway alignment during takeoff, which resulted in an aborted takeoff and runway excursion.

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

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain a proper landing flare in gusting crosswind conditions.

Probable cause: The pilot’s improper landing flare during gusting wind conditions, and the flight instructor’s delayed remedial action.

Probable cause: The student pilot’s failure to maintain lateral control during a soft-field takeoff.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain a proper approach altitude, which resulted in a collision with a fence.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate clearance from a power transmission wire.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to attain a positive climb rate after takeoff in high-density altitude conditions, which resulted in a collision with terrain.
