aviation accidents

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing, that resulted in a ground loop and a runway excursion. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s delayed remedial action.

Probable Cause: A loss of engine power due to the separation and ingestion of an air filter retaining bracket into the engine cylinder.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to correctly reinstall the airplane’s left seat, resulting in the movement of the seat during the takeoff roll, and the subsequent loss of control and runway excursion.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper inflight fuel management, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation while on final approach to land, and the subsequent hard landing, which resulted in separation of the airplane’s landing gear.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper preflight inspection of the stabilator trim position, which resulted in a porpoised landing. Contributing to the accident was the maintenance personnel’s improper maintenance of the stabilator trim shaft.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during takeoff.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s loss of directional control in reduced visibility conditions due to a wind gust, which resulted in a collision with a trailer.
