aviation accidents

Probable cause: The pilot’s unstabilized approach, which resulted in the biplane being low and striking trees.

Probable cause: A partial loss of engine power due to carburetor icing and the subsequent forced landing on a rough/soft field.

Probable cause: The pilot’s improper preflight planning, which resulted in fuel exhaustion and the total loss of engine power.

Probable cause: The pilot’s improper landing flare and subsequent hard landing while demonstrating a short-field landing and the flight instructor’s delayed remedial action.

Probable cause: The airplane’s encounter with a depression in a dirt runway during takeoff, which resulted in a tail strike.

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

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain the proper airspeed and his exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle-of-attack during a single-engine approach, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall at an altitude too low for the flight instruct

Probable cause: The pilot’s inadequate fuel management, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.
