Inadequate training bends Searey
Probable cause: The pilot’s incorrect pitch input during a water landing, which resulted in a nose-over. Contributing to the accident were the pilot’s inadequate training and experience in the make and model airplane.
RV-4’s landing gear fails
Probable cause: The failure of the weld on the airplane’s left main landing gear axle support strut during landing, which resulted in a loss of directional control.
Unstablized approach leads to plane hitting runway sign
Probable cause: The student pilot’s failure to maintain a stabilized approach, which resulted in overcorrection with the rudder during the landing, loss of control, and a runway excursion.
Gear collapses during crosswind landing
Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll in a gusting crosswind conditions, which exceeded the airplane’s maximum demonstrated crosswind and resulted in the collapse of the left main landing gear.
Pilot loses control on takeoff
Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff.
Cessna 172 porpoises eight times after hard landing
Probable cause: The student pilot’s failure to maintain a proper landing flare, which resulted in a porpoised landing.
Aborted takeoff on snow-covered runway bends Cessna 182
Probable cause: The pilot’s selection of unsuitable terrain for takeoff, which resulted in a loss of control and runway excursion.
Skiplane crashes during crosswind landing
Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain the runway heading during the approach in gusting crosswind conditions.
