NTSB Accidents

The pilot’s descent into the ocean for reasons that could not be determined.

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in the airplane nosing over.

The pilot’s inadequate preflight inspection and inflight planning that resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.

The airplane’s encounter with a downdraft during the initial climb, which resulted in an impact with trees.

The pilot’s failure to familiarize himself with the wind conditions at the destination airport and his failure to attain the proper touchdown point during landing, which resulted in a long, tailwind landing and subsequent runway overrun.

The pilot’s failure to determine the airplane’s takeoff performance from an off-airport field, which resulted in an aborted takeoff and impact with a fence and terrain. Contributing to the accident was the delayed aborted takeoff.

The pilot’s inadequate preflight inspection and fuel planning which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.

The pilot’s failure to maintain control of the airplane during an aborted landing and the flight instructor’s inadequate remedial action.

A total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation, as a result of an incorrectly placarded fuel selector.
