Cessna 182 Safety Record

The pilot's failure to adequately compensate for the wind conditions during final approach, which resulted in a loss of control and an in-flight collision with terrain. A contributing factor was the windshear condition encountered.

the pilot's continued visual flight rules (VFR) flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) and failure to maintain terrain clearance resulting in controlled flight into terrain. Contributing factors were the pilot's improper preflight and in-flight planning, snow and reduced visibility.

the pilot's inability to maintain directional control resulting in an impact with a snow bank. Contributing factors include the obscured runway lights, inoperative landing lights, and the pilot's improper decision to operate an airplane with known systems deficiencies.

The pilot's failure to follow approach procedures by descending below the prescribed descision height altitude resulting in an in-flight collision with trees and the ground. This report was modified on January 25, 2008.

The private pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point, and the flight instructor's inadequate remedial action, which resulted in a landing short of the runway. A contributing factor was the gusty wind conditions.

The pilot's inadvertent attempt to land on water with the wheels down and his failure to verify the gear position prior to landing. Contributing factors were the inoperative gear system due to the open gear selector circuit breaker, which tripped for undetermined reasons.

The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from trees and terrain while maneuvering in mountainous/hilly terrain in a high density altitude environment.

The pilot's failure to extend the landing gear prior to a practice soft-field landing, and the certified flight instructor's failure to take remedial action. Factors include the pilot's failure to use a checklist.

The failure of the pilot-rated-passenger to maintain adequate airspeed on final during a simulated engine-out approach, resulting in the aircraft descending into the terrain about 40 feet short of the runway, and the failure of the pilot-in-command to take remedial action.

The pilot's failure to maintain control during the landing rollout during gusting wind conditions, which resulted in the airplane veering off the runway.

The pilot's loss of situational awareness with regard to the airplane's proximity to mountainous terrain, and her failure to maintain an adequate terrain clearance altitude or flight path, which resulted in an in-flight collision with the terrain.

A loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. The fuel exhaustion was the result of a split O-ring on the right fuel cap, which allowed fuel to siphon out of the right fuel tank during flight.

The CFI's failure to initiate a go-around when he noticed the flight was high during approach resulting in the flight landing long, overrunning the runway , and colliding with trees. Factors in the accident were a wet runway and a tailwind for landing.

The pilot failed to perform a go-around which resulted in landing long on the airstrip. Factors associated with the accident were the tailwind, the pilot's selection of runway direction, the fence posts, the fence, and the trees which were contacted.
