NTSB Accidents

The pilot’s loss of airplane control resulting in an aerodynamic stall while executing a steep turnaround during an aerial application flight.

A total loss of engine power due to a blocked fuel tank cap vent hole, which resulted in fuel starvation. Contributing to the accident was the mechanic’s and the pilot’s inadequate inspections of the fuel tank cap.

The pilot’s loss of directional control when his foot became stuck on a protruding bolt in the airplane’s floorboard.

The pilot’s failure to locate the airport, which resulted in an approach to a road and subsequent collision with power lines during a go-around in low-light conditions.

The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering at low altitude, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with the ground.

The pilot’s decision to initiate a flight with a failed mixture control cable, which resulted in a total loss of engine power.

The King Air pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from another airplane while taxiing, which resulted in a ground collision.

The pilot’s failure to properly secure the left wing fuel cap before flight, which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.

The total loss of engine power due to fuel contamination as a result of the pilot’s improper fueling of the airplane.
