NTSB Accidents

The pilot’s failure to maintain airspeed, which resulted in an inadvertent stall and uncontrolled descent and subsequent collision with the ground.

The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from terrain. Contributing to the accident were the high, rising terrain and fatigue.

The inadvertent encounter with instrument meteorological conditions and failure to maintain adequate terrain clearance, which resulted in controlled flight into the terrain. Contributing factors were the pilots’ delayed decision to reverse course, and the low clouds, which obscured the rising terrain.

A loss of engine power due to an unsecured mixture control cable, which was not properly secured by maintenance personnel during a recent annual inspection.

The pilot’s inadequate in-flight planning by his failure to switch fuel tanks, which resulted in fuel starvation and the loss of engine power.

A loss of engine power due to the failure of the mixture cable, which resulted in fuel starvation.

The pilot’s failure to follow instrument flight procedures and descent below the published minimum descent altitude, which resulted in a collision with terrain during an instrument approach.

The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from obstacles while in cruise flight at low altitude, which resulted in a collision with a powerline.

A loss of engine power due to carburetor icing, which resulted in a forced landing.
