aviation accidents

Water contamination of the airplane’s fuel supply which resulted in a total loss of engine power.

Inadequate maintenance at the time the carburetor was replaced, which resulted in the improperly installed throttle cable and a partial loss of engine power. Contributing to the accident was an inadequate annual inspection that failed to detect the improper throttle cable installation.

A loose stand-off clamp which resulted in a throttle assembly malfunction, and the inability of the engine to produce full power during the attempted takeoff.

The pilot’s loss of situational awareness, and his unintended landing on a soft unimproved dirt road, which resulted in a loss of directional control into soft ground and the airplane to subsequently nose over.

The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed during the go-around, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and a subsequent aerodynamic stall.

The pilot’s improper installation of the fuel selector handle, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.

The pilot’s inadequate visual lookout, which resulted in collision with power lines during an aerial application flight.
