aviation accidents

A total loss of engine power due to carburetor icing, which resulted from the student pilot’s failure to use carburetor heat.

The flight instructor did not maintain control of the airplane during training maneuvers, which resulted in a rapid, steep descent and impact with terrain.

The pilot’s failure to maintain the minimum airspeed for flight in icing conditions, which resulted in a loss of elevator control during approach due to ice accumulation.

The flight instructor’s improper soft field landing technique while landing on a turf runway, which resulted in a nose over.

The pilot’s failure to maintain the proper glideslope during final approach, which resulted in contact with a snowbank at the approach end of the runway.

The pilot’s unstable approach to land, which resulted in a loss of directional control and subsequent nose over. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to continue an approach in sun glare conditions.

The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from powerlines/poles and terrain while maneuvering for reasons that could not be determined based on available evidence.

The pilot’s mismanagement of the fuel supply, which resulted in fuel starvation.
