Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain proper airspeed on approach, which resulted in an extended touchdown, loss of control, and runway excursion.

Probable Cause: A loss of directional control during the landing roll due to the left wheel seizing from insufficient grease in the left wheel bearing.

Probable Cause: The blockage of the left fuel tank vent, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. Contributing to the accident of the pilot’s failure to use his checklist to address the loss of engine power.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain the proper glidepath during final approach, which resulted in a collision with the approach lights short of the runway. Contributing was the pilot’s distraction due to the cabin door opening.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to ensure adequate airplane performance before taking off from a significantly shorter runway than originally planned for.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper preflight inspection which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel contamination (water).

Probable Cause: An in-flight fire that resulted from an inadequate 100-hr inspection, which failed to detect and correct improper electrical cable routing in the engine compartment.
