Factors in the accident were the pilot's failure…The pilot's failure to obtain the proper climb rate to clear an obstacle after aborting the landing. Factors in the accident were the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, which prompted the aborted landing, and a wind gust. |
| May 12, 2007 | Red Lodge, MT | N10484 | Incident | substantial |
The pilot's inadequate compensation for gusty crosswind conditions and failure to maintain proper runway alignment that resulted in dragging a wing an…The pilot's inadequate compensation for gusty crosswind conditions and failure to maintain proper runway alignment that resulted in dragging a wing and ground looping. Also causal was the pilot's delayed decision to abort the landing. |
| Apr 24, 2007 | Sierra Blanca, TX | N800CP | Incident | substantial | The loss of control as result of the pilot's failure to compensate for the existing wind conditions. A contributing factor was the crosswind. |
| Feb 11, 2007 | Alton, NH | N10438 | Incident | substantial |
The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the takeoff roll. Factors were the slick condition of the runway, and the lack of mark…The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the takeoff roll. Factors were the slick condition of the runway, and the lack of markings to denote the runway safety area. |
| Jul 23, 2002 | Trenton, GA | N10550 | Incident | substantial |
The failure of the pilot to clear the engine during a prolonged approach at idle power resulting in the engine hesitating during application of power …The failure of the pilot to clear the engine during a prolonged approach at idle power resulting in the engine hesitating during application of power to arrest the descent for landing touchdown resulting in a hard landing and separation of the left main landing gear wheel. Contributing to the accident was incomplete fusion of the weld joint between the left main landing gear axle and wheel spacer and the lower than normal idle setting of the engine. |
| Jan 07, 2001 | Perry, FL | N40030 | Serious (1) | substantial | The loss of control on landing due to the student's improper recovery from a bounced landing, and the resulting nose over on the grass runway. |
