Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to set the wing flaps to the “takeoff” position, which resulted in a longer-than-normal takeoff run and collision with terrain.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the takeoff roll.

Probable cause: The pilot’s inadvertent brake application during the landing roll, which resulted in a loss of directional control.

Probable cause: The pilot’s improper decision to operate an airplane without recent flight training and his inadvertent application of left electric rudder trim before flight and a subsequent loss of airplane control.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate clearance and visual lookout while taxiing, which resulted in his airplane colliding with the stationary airplane.

Probable cause: The pilot’s decision to take off from an unimproved bean field with insufficient length for the airplane to clear adjacent corn stalks.

Probable cause: The loss of engine power due to a lack of ignition resulting from a broken alternator wire.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from the lake during a low-level maneuver.
