NTSB Accidents

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll with a crosswind, after the right tailwheel spring separated.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to attain a proper touchdown point which resulted in a runway overrun and subsequent impact with a fence.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to extend the landing gear before landing and the flight instructor’s inadequate supervision to ensure that the landing gear was extended.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s inadequate fuel planning and improper in-flight decision making, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s encounter with severe turbulence at night which resulted in an extended downwind and collision with wires during the base turn.

Probable Cause: A hard landing that resulted in substantial damage to the airplane’s right wing.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the go-around, that resulted in a runway excursion and an impact with terrain.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during the landing, which resulted in a ground loop.

Probable Cause: The student pilot’s failure to maintain adequate clearance from a fuel truck while taxiing. Also contributing was the flight instructor’s inadequate monitoring of the student pilot.
