The pilot’s improper fuel management, which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s inadequate preflight inspection.

The pilot’s inadvertent selection of an off fuel selector position, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.

The student pilot’s loss of control during a go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.

The pilot’s decision to commence the flight in marginal visual flight rules conditions at night, and his failure to maintain a safe altitude once instrument conditions were encountered.

The pilot’s inadequate fuel management, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with a parked airplane.

The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed while on approach for landing which, resulted in an aerodynamic stall and collision with terrain.

The pilot’s improper checklist use, which resulted in an electrical malfunction and subsequent gear up landing.
