Pilot without medical crashes 150
The pilot’s improper recovery from a bounced landing.
Crosswind landing ends off the runway
The pilot’s improper use of the aileron and rudder controls and inadequate compensation for the wind conditions during a crosswind landing resulting in a loss of directional control.
172 crashes after running out of fuel
Probable cause: The pilot’s improper fuel management, resulting in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.
Worn brakes contribute to accident
Probable cause: The pilot’s misjudgment of the airplane’s speed and distance during the landing approach.
Preliminary report on Sebring Remos crash released
The rudder appeared to be fully deflected to the left and both the left and right ailerons appeared to be drooping trailing edge down, the witness added.
Instrument lesson ends fatally
Fuel starvation for an undetermined reason, which led to the loss of power on the left engine. Additional causes were the pilot’s failure to maintain airspeed, which led to his loss of control of the airplane. The flight instructor’s inability to take remedial action because the airplane was not equipped with a full set of dual flight controls was also a factor.
No injuries in mid-air
The Cessna 210 pilot’s failure to maintain proper spacing during approach to landing and subsequent go-around, which resulted in a midair collision.
