aviation accidents

A failure to maintain directional control led a wild ride in an Aeronca for this student pilot.

Atmospheric conditions – 81° temp and 66° dew point – make for a “moderate risk” for carb ice.

Full airplane, wet grass, short run all factored into C-208 running off the end of the runway.

High-density altitude and low-powered Ercoupe equals trouble for this pilot.

Gusty crosswind was more than the aircraft and pilot could handle.

Pilot deviated from the airplane’s checklist to keep the engine running during run-up and taxi.

Pilot failed to maintain a safe taxi distance from a large turbine-powered airplane that was maneuvering on the ramp. Damage ensued.

Faulty balked landing procedure led to an uncontrolled descent, hard landing and ultimately a collapsed nose gear.

An attempt to avoid a hitting a deer on the runway ends with a collision with trees and an off-airport landing.
