ASRS Reports

Training flight interrupted by problems with landing gear

By NASA · November 19, 2024 · 1 Comment

Student put the gear down and instructor heard a popping sound, along with a flashing nose gear indicator.

Crosswind pushes plane to land on taxiway

By NASA · November 14, 2024 · 6 Comments

ASRS Report Human Factors

Due to the wind constantly pushing the aircraft to the left, the aircraft underperformed during the climb. Hearing the stall sound, I noticed that the aircraft was unable to climb, so I rapidly lowered the nose and landed on the taxiway. The landing was successful, with no harm to either the aircraft or anyone else.

RV-12 vs airliner

By NASA · November 12, 2024 · 2 Comments

ASRS Procedure

While positioning my Van’s RV-12 for my arrival, my ADS-B suddenly depicted a traffic conflict alert indicating a high-speed target approaching my position. It seems I received very little warning possibly due to the approaching aircraft’s relatively high-speed (estimated at 220 knots) and the 8-nm scale being depicted on my moving map display.

Cessna 140’s engine dies on rollout

By NASA · November 7, 2024 · 9 Comments

This was a delivery of a newly purchased aircraft. The aircraft had been mostly idle for a few years prior to the event.

Pilot asks for safer ways to handle incoming traffic

By NASA · November 5, 2024 · 2 Comments

I believe that there are safer ways to handle this situation than rejecting the arriving aircraft on the Kent Arrival. The other VFR arrival procedures into KBFI (Vashon, Green Lake, and Bellevue arrivals) all have safe options to break off the approach since they are not as constrained as the Kent Arrival.

Bonanza interrupts training flight

By NASA · October 29, 2024 · 2 Comments

ASRS Report Human Factors

After I assure that the aircraft is stable and the student has control, I look to our five o’clock and see the traffic only a couple hundred feet behind us. It was close enough to see the pilot in the front seat and the red and white paint.

Wrong turn creates conflict in the pattern

By NASA · October 24, 2024 · 4 Comments

ASRS Report Human Factors

He was supposed to turn left into the downwind for XXR but turned right into the downwind for XYL. This positioned our aircraft into a head-on position.

Pilot error leads to ground loop

By NASA · October 22, 2024 · 3 Comments

ASRS Report Human Factors

This aircraft requires fast and careful technique towards the end of the landing rollout to prevent a ground loop.

Training flight ends in fuel starvation

By NASA · October 17, 2024 · 7 Comments

ASRS Report Human Factors

During an instructional pattern flight my student mistakenly did not switch tanks during the flight. Because of this we operated on one tank until that tank was empty, and the result was fuel starvation that caused engine failure.
