aviation accidents

Probable Cause: Maintenance personnel’s failure to properly secure the oil filter adapter when replacing the oil filter adapter gasket which resulted in the filter becoming loose, resulting in the loss of engine oil, and the subsequent total loss of engine power.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s mismanagement of the fuel supply, which resulted in a loss of engine power on the left engine due to fuel starvation.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s inadequate preflight planning and failure to abort the takeoff at the predetermined decision point.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s delayed use of carburetor heat which resulted in the loss of engine power due to carburetor icing.

Probable Cause: An overloading of the landing gear push/pull cable rod ends, which resulted in the landing gear being seized in an intermediate position during the subsequent landing.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain a proper descent rate during the final approach, resulting in a hard landing and collision with runway edge lights.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s loss of directional control while landing in soft snow, resulting in a nose over.
