NTSB Accidents

A fracture and collapse of the main landing gear. Contributing to the accident was an inadequate annual inspection by maintenance personnel and corrosion.

The loss of engine power for undermined reasons. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.

The pilot’s failure to maintain control of the airplane during an aborted landing.

Fuel exhaustion due to the pilot’s inadequate in-flight planning and his failure to refuel while en route.

The mechanic’s failure to secure the right engine cowling fasteners. Contributing to the incident was the pilot’s inadequate preflight inspection.

The pilot’s failure to perform the emergency landing gear extension procedure prior to landing. A contributing factor in the accident was the failure of the electrical system.

An inadvertent stall during takeoff/initial climb. Contributing factors in this accident were a partial loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.

The pilot’s inadvertent encounter with thunderstorms during cruise flight. Contributing to the accident was the failure of air traffic control to appropriately issue weather information and initiate an in-flight deviation around known and clearly observed weather.

The complete loss of engine power during an attempted go-around from a simulated engine-out landing.
