Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard, bounced landing and runway excursion. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s delayed remedial action.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.

Probable Cause: The improper recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in a hard landing and subsequent noseover.

Probable Cause: A failure of the right brake during taxi, which resulted in a taxiway excursion and collision with a tree.

Probable Cause: Airport personnel’s failure to properly prioritize their response actions, including updating the airport’s automated weather observation system recording in a timely manner to notify incoming pilots of a runway closure, which resulted in an airplane striking an immobilized airplane on the runway during landing at night. Contributing to the accident was the airport’s inadequate emergency response plan.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper fuel management resulting in fuel starvation, a total loss of engine power, and subsequent off-airport forced landing.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to extend the landing gear and the flight instructor’s lack of recognition and inadequate remedial action, which resulted in a gear up landing.

Probable Cause: The student pilot’s failure to maintain control of the airplane during the crosswind landing, which resulted in the airplane drifting off the left side of the runway and into trees.
