As I was walking around the wing to the cockpit, engine power increased more quickly than expected after start. I was unable to reach the cockpit to shut the engine down before the chocks gave way, followed by the tie-down stake pulling out of the ground.
ASRS Reports
Expectation bias bites pilots
We were wrong on all accounts and it is a good thing that we were able to establish ATC contact before taking off, which would have only complicated things for all.
Near miss at 11,000 feet
The aircraft was so close and approaching so fast that I immediately disconnected the autopilot and put my airplane into a rapid descent to avoid.
Tired pilot turns on wrong taxiway
It was a combination of fatigue and the dark conditions that made it difficult to notice the proper taxiway markings.
Pilot perplexed by pattern
If I wasn’t supposed to make a left crosswind because of other traffic, why didn’t the Controller mention that to me prior to departure?
Severe shaking linked to broken trim tab control rod
After trimming for level flight and while adjusting the prop for cruise, the Cessna 182 suddenly started shaking violently at a regular and high frequency.
Pilot experiences dizziness, other symptoms, from carbon monoxide
A few seconds after rotating I stated feeling symptoms of what I believed to be from the CO. I was going to give the plane to my student so I could open the door for air as he warned me of the sensor reading close to 250 ppm of CO.
A disaster waiting to happen
For an uncontrolled field, it is one of the most dangerous airports I have ever flown. Traffic on any given day is packed with student pilots, private pilots, traveling pilots coming to ZZZ and — worse yet — gliders on a parallel runway to the active non-glider, powered runway. It’s a mess.
Broken mixture control cable leads to loss of all engine power
The cable was completely severed at the carburetor.
