At about 2140 Alaska time, the airplane was substantially damaged during landing. The commercial pilot and the sole passenger were not injured. Visual conditions prevailed; an IFR flight plan was in effect for the flight, which originated in Russia.

The light sport airplane collided with terrain after takeoff at about 1600 Pacific time. The private pilot/owner sustained fatal injuries. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the airframe and wings from impact forces and a post-crash fire. Visual conditions prevailed. Witnesses reported the airplane went to an extremely nose-high attitude after liftoff, estimating it never climbed to more than 100 feet agl.

The airplane was substantially damaged at about 0934 Mountain time when it impacted terrain during takeoff. Visual conditions prevailed. The pilot, co-pilot and two technical crewmembers were fatally injured. The airplane was operating as an experimental during certification flight tests and was performing a takeoff with a simulated engine failure to determine take-off distance requirements at minimum flap setting.

The airplane collided with the ground following a loss of engine power while maneuvering during an air show performance at about 1500 Central time. The commercial pilot and passenger sustained serious injuries. A post-accident fire partially consumed the fuselage. Visual conditions prevailed.

At approximately 1045 Central time, the airplane was substantially damaged upon impact with terrain following loss of engine power on initial takeoff. Both the commercial pilot and passenger were fatally injured. Visual conditions prevailed. According to initial statements provided by witnesses, the airplanes engine sounded normal until it was 100 to 200 feet agl.

The airplane was not damaged when its elevators bound during landing at about 0859 Eastern time. The two pilots and two passengers were not injured. Marginal visual conditions prevailed and the flight was operating on an IFR clearance. The non-scheduled domestic passenger flight was conducted under FAR Part 135.

At approximately 2100 Central time, the airplane was substantially damaged when the pilot struck a power line and trees, and impacted terrain after the engine lost power. Night visual conditions prevailed. The solo pilot was seriously injured. The cross-country flight originated at Denton (DTO), Texas, and was en route to Shreveport (SHV), La.

At about 2130 Central time, the airplane was destroyed when it collided with terrain while maneuvering for an approach. The solo private pilot was fatally injured. An IFR flight plan was in effect. Night instrument conditions prevailed. While approaching the destination, the pilot reported a landing-gear indicator problem to ATC, which then gave the pilot a heading and altitude to fly.

The airplane incurred minor damage during a landing overrun at 1334 Eastern time. The two airline transport pilots, one flight attendant and eight passengers were not injured. Instrument conditions prevailed. Before landing, the pilots programmed the flight management system with the current winds and temperature, which provided landing distance and reference speed (ref) of 136 knots. The approach was briefed and the pilots elected to add 10 knots to the ref speed due to the wind conditions and executed the localizer approach for Runway 6, (6013 feet by 150 feet).

The airplane impacted the approach end of the runway at 1140 Pacific time and was substantially damaged. The commercial pilot sustained serious injuries. Visual conditions prevailed.
