NTSB Accidents

The pilot’s failure to install the engine oil filler cap before the first flight of the day; his subsequent failure to conduct a preflight check before the accident flight, which resulted in his failure to note that the cap was not installed; and his improper landing flare during a precautionary landing, which resulted in a bounced landing and ground loop.

The pilot’s decision to abort a go-around with insufficient runway remaining to safely stop the airplane, which resulted in a loss of control, runway excursion and impact with a concrete barrier.

The passenger’s inadvertent retraction of the landing gear during the landing roll without being instructed to do so by the pilot.

The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed and his exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during a low pass, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with terrain.

The total loss of right engine power due to fuel starvation and the pilot’s improper fuel management.

The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering to avoid mountainous terrain, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and an aerodynamic stall.

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a ground loop.

The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from wires during an agricultural application flight.

The student pilot’s improper decision to turn off the runway while the airplane was moving too fast after landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with a taxiway sign.
