NTSB Accidents

Probable Cause: The inability of the Boeing 75 pilot to anticipate that the Piper would stop earlier on the taxiway which resulted in the on-ground collision.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s excessive turn rate and bank angle while at low airspeed and altitude, resulting in an accelerated aerodynamic stall, loss of airplane control, and collision with terrain.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s inadequate fuel management which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s decision to depart with the airplane over maximum gross weight, which reduced the climb performance and resulted in a collision with a tree.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control and his decision to continue the takeoff from the soft turf runway.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain a proper glidepath to the runway, which resulted in a runway undershoot and collision with terrain.

Probable Cause: A bearing failure that resulted in fatigue failure of the crankshaft and a subsequent total loss of engine power.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to extend the landing gear before landing.

Probable Cause: The pilot/owner’s failure to ensure adequate maintenance of the airplane, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power during takeoff.
