aviation accidents

Probable cause: The pilot’s improper fuel planning, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion and a subsequent off-airport landing and nose-over.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing due to being distracted by another airplane and her delayed initiation of a go-around, during which the right wing struck a parked helicopter.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control while taxiing in gusting tailwind conditions.

Probable cause: The pilot’s selection of unsuitable terrain for takeoff, which resulted in a loss of directional control.

Probable cause: The pilot’s inadvertent landing gear retraction during approach.

Probable cause: The pilot’s diverted attention to his phone while maneuvering at a low altitude, which resulted in collision with terrain.

Probable cause: The pilot’s improper wind correction inputs while taxiing with a quartering tailwind.

Probable cause: The control stick handgrip separation from the control stick resulting in the airplane pitching forward, which resulted in hard landing.

Probable cause: The pilot’s decision to takeoff in gusting wind conditions with insufficient rotor rpm.
