ASRS Reports
Lost nut becomes lodged in elevator trim control wheel
We believe the cause of this incident was human error by the inaction of the technician to retrieve the missing nut. Despite previously loosening the nut and installing a new cable with a new nut, the technician either forgot to find the missing nut or did not hear it fall in the trim components.
Landing goes awry
We both had right rudder in all the way. Power was all the way to idle, and we were holding down the brakes as well, but the airplane kept going to the left. Once we knew there was no way of getting it back to centerline we braced for impact.

Taxiing too fast lands airplane in the grass
I was taxiing out of the ramp and had the flight controls. Turning left onto the taxiway, the speed was too fast. My instructor took controls and applied full braking. The airplane stopped with the nose of the plane slightly in the grass.
Better safe than sorry
A little over halfway down the runway around 200 feet AGL the engine began shuddering, and I looked to my student, who looked to me, confirming we both felt and heard the engine roughness.

Aircraft Y cut me off in the pattern while I was on downwind. I believe we missed hitting each other by about 500 feet horizontally.
