NTSB Accidents

A runway incursion, which resulted in a go-around, and subsequent forced landing when the airplane was not able to climb at a rate sufficient to clear approaching rising terrain.

The pilot’s failure to maintain a proper glidepath during final approach for landing, which resulted in impact with trees and terrain.

A loss of control while practicing an aerodynamic stall, which resulted in a spin and impact with terrain.

The flight instructor and student pilot’s inadequate preflight performance planning which resulted in a takeoff attempt with insufficient available runway, a loss of control, and impact with terrain.

The pilot’s loss of airplane control while maneuvering at a low altitude, which resulted in a collision with a house.

The pilot reported that he was about halfway home when the power loss occurred.

An in-flight separation of the control stick from the torque tube assembly, which resulted in a loss of directional control during the landing roll and subsequent on-ground collision.

The flight instructor’s improper decision to direct the student pilot to exit the airplane with the engine running, which resulted in serious injury when the student walked into the propeller arc.

The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and spin. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the pilot to perform an adequate preflight inspection, to include removal of the pitot tube cover.
