aviation accidents

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.

The student pilot’s loss of directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a collision with a taxiway sign.

The student pilot’s failure to maintain the runway heading during takeoff, which resulted in impact with a snowbank and a subsequent nose-over.

The pilot’s failure to maintain the proper descent rate during the approach to landing, which resulted in a hard landing and serious injury to a passenger.

The pilot receiving instruction’s failure to maintain directional control during the takeoff roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and ground-loop, and the flight instructor’s failure to adequately monitor the pilot.
