The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate clearance from a parked airplane during the landing flare.

The pilot’s mismanagement of the fuel supply.

The pilot’s improper flare and his inadequate recovery from the bounced landing.

Total failure of the landing gear retraction/extension assembly. Contributing factors in this accident were worn parts in the landing gear retraction/extension assembly, and mechanical binding of the extension assembly.

The student pilot’s poor management of the flight and attempted precautionary landing in unsuitable terrain, which resulted in damage to the airplane during the landing.

The pilot’s inadequate preflight inspection, which resulted in a loss of engine power during approach due to water contaminated fuel.

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control that resulted in a ground loop.

The pilot’s failure to maintain control of the airplane during takeoff roll, which resulted in an on ground collision with an airport sign.

The pilot’s inadequate compensation for a wind gust that ballooned the airplane during the landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing. The wind gust was a factor.
