aviation accidents

The loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.

The pilot/mechanic’s improper installation and securing of the mixture control cable, which led to a simultaneous loss of total engine power and failure of the nose landing gear to fully extend when the cable caught on the nose landing gear assembly.

The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from the power lines.

The pilot’s failure to see and avoid a parked glider while taxiing from the runway.

Maintenance personnel’s improper assembly of the engine during overhaul, which resulted in lubrication restriction due to a bearing shift and the subsequent engine failure.

The pilot’s failure to arrest the descent rate during an aborted simulated engine-out approach, which resulted in impact with vegetation and a subsequent cartwheel.

The student pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing.

The student pilot’s failure to establish a positive climb rate during an aborted landing, which resulted in abnormal runway contact, a subsequent loss of directional control, runway excursion, and the right main landing gear collapsing.
