NTSB Accidents
Lakebed landing goes bad for student
The pilot’s inadequate compensation for the gusty and crosswind condition, and his failure to maintain control of the airplane during takeoff.
Wind gust leads to loss of control
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control.
Poor repair leads to poor landing
The failure of the left main landing gear spring assembly as a result of an unapproved repair by an unknown person, which resulted in a loss of directional control during the landing roll.
Control lost on landing
The failure to maintain directional control during landing.
Simulated engine out turns into real emergency
The CFI’s improper decision to simulate an engine failure in the traffic pattern by cutting off fuel to the engine, and his subsequent failure to maintain directional control during an aborted landing.
Overloaded airplane crashes
The loss of engine power during the initial climb for undetermined reasons and the pilot’s failure to maintain an airspeed above stall speed while maneuvering following the power loss. Contributing to the accident was the operation of the airplane at a weight above Maximum Certified Gross Weight.
Improper flare leads to nosegear collapse
The student pilot’s improper flare and failure to recover from a bounced landing.
Shortened approach leads to accident
The student pilot’s misjudged landing flare and inadequate recovery from a bounced landing that resulted in a loss of directional control.
