Cessna 182E Safety Record

The pilot's failure to attain a proper touchdown point and his inability to stop the landing roll on a wet gras runway, which resulted in a collision with a tree.

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing with a variable gusting wind and his decision not to perform a go-around that resulted an overrun and impact with a fence and trees.

The loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because an examination of the engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.

The partial loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the engine did not reveal any malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.

The pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point during landing and his delay in initiating a successful go-around, which resulted in a loss of airspeed and an aerodynamic stall.

The airplane noseover due to the pilot's failure to obtain current NOTAM information on the closed airport. A contributing factor was the unsuitable terrain.

the pilot's failure to maintain clearance from the transmission wire resulting in the airplane's outboard wing portion to be severed, and the subsequent loss of control and ground impact. Factors contributing to the accident were the pilot's impairment from his recent marijuana use and the transmission wire.

the pilot's inability to maintain aircraft control during the forced landing which resulted in a collision with terrain. A contributing factor was the pilot becoming ill during cruise flight.

The loss of engine power as a result of fuel exhaustion due to the pilot's failure to properly secure the fuel caps during his self-servicing and (improperly) preflighting the airplane. A contributing factor was the utility pole.

The pilot's improper decision to attempt a takeoff without allowing the engine to adequately warm-up; which resulted in a partial loss of power during takeoff and subsequent forced landing.

the pilot's inadequate in-flight planning and decision-making, which resulted in the loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. Contributing factors to the accident were the fuel exhaustion and the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.

the pilot's inadequate preflight inspection and failure to ensure adequate fuel was aboard, which resulted in fuel exhaustion and loss of engine power.

The presence of foreign material in the carburetor intake venturi, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power during takeoff, and a subsequent off-airport forced landing.

Failure of the pilot-in-command to maintain directional control during the landing roll. Contributing factors were the wind gust and the soft terrain adjacent to the runway.

Long term fatigue of the nose landing gear strut fork initiated by side loading which resulted in the separation of the fork from the strut and the consequent collapse of the nose gear. A contributing factor was the ditch the aircraft traversed during the ground roll.
