aviation accidents

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during a go-around.

Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to shut down the engine before exiting the airplane and his failure to focus his attention on the task at hand, which led to his walking into a rotating propeller.

Probable cause: The pilot’s loss of airplane control for reasons that could not be determined due to a lack of evidence.

Probable cause: An in-flight collision with a bird.

Probable cause: The failure of the fuel selector valve in a position that restricted fuel flow to the engine, resulting in a total loss of engine power during initial climb due to fuel starvation.

Probable cause: The contamination of snow and ice on the left main landing gear and brake, which prevented the wheel from rolling during touchdown and resulted in a nose-over.

Probable cause: The pilot’s inadequate preflight and inflight fuel planning, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion and subsequent forced landing in a field. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s delayed action in taking contr

Probable cause: A decrease in oil pressure due to the pilot’s unintentional overfilling of the engine oil sump, and the pilot’s subsequent decision to perform an off-airport precautionary landing, which resulted in impact with a tree.

Probable cause: The failure of the engine No. 2 connecting rod bearing for reasons that could not be determined due to the extensive secondary engine damage.
