Upon arrival at the destination airport, the pilot noted the windsock appeared to favor Runway 19. The pilot reported that the approach was made with the airplane configured in a slip to compensate for the crosswind. As the airplane touched down, there was a slight bounce. During the landing rollout, the airplane began to veer to the right. The pilot applied left rudder to correct the heading; however, the airplane continued off the runway and hit a culvert with a rock facing.

The aircraft lost engine power during final approach and collided with the ground at 1545 Eastern time. The airplane sustained substantial damage. Visual conditions prevailed; the solo pilot was uninjured. The pilot later stated that, at about 100 feet agl, he reduced power to idle and the engine quit. He then made a forced landing short of the runway.

At 1125 Mountain time, the special light-sport airplane sustained substantial damage following a loss of control during landing. The flight instructor and student sport pilot were not injured. Visual conditions prevailed. The airplane touched down on its main wheels, then the nose wheel was lowered, slightly right of the runway centerline. The instructor asked the student to apply light rudder pressure during the roll-out to realign the aircraft with the runway centerline. Ample left rudder pressure was applied and countered with opposite right rudder pressure, resulting in pilot-induced oscillations.

According to the pilot, with a crosswind at 10-plus knots, I attempted a takeoff on runway 15. After the tailwheel had lifted but before takeoff, a [wind] gust suddenly drove the aircraft towards the right edge of the runway. Rather then incur a ground loop for the amount of correction necessary, I decelerated straight ahead, whereupon I hit what I later found out was a large runway sign off the side of the runway in the grassy area. The pilot added, I should have requested runway 6, which was almost aligned with the wind. Additionally, the pilot reported no mechanical malfunction or failure with the airplane.

The airplane impacted terrain at approximately 1100 Mountain time during an attempted engine-out landing. The Airline Transport pilot and sole occupant received minor injuries; the aircraft sustained substantial damage. Visual conditions prevailed. According to the pilot, during the initial climb after takeoff, just after the aircraft passed 400 feet agl, he shut off the fuel boost pumps in preparation for the en route climb.

At 1558 Mountain time, the light sport aircraft was substantially damaged when its right main landing gear separated during an aborted landing. The airplane subsequently impacted on the runway, departed off the side and nosed over. The two flight instructors on board sustained minor injuries; visual conditions prevailed and winds were calm.

The airplane ground looped and nosed over at 1128 Pacific time during landing. The Airline Transport pilot sustained minor injuries; the airplane was substantially damaged. Visual conditions prevailed.

The airplane impacted trees and terrain during a forced landing following a loss of engine power during approach. The pilot stated that the airplane lost engine power due to “a depletion of fuel.” Inspection revealed the fuel system did not contain any remaining usable fuel. The fuel system was intact and no fuel smell was noted at the accident site.

The airplane sustained substantial damage when it struck a power line during cruise flight at about 1830 Mountain time. Following the collision, the flight continued to its destination and landed without further incident. The Commercial pilot and single passenger were not injured. Visual conditions prevailed. The pilot later reported that he decided to descend from cruising flight at 8500 feet msl to about 100 feet agl to follow the Snake River. Although he checked a chart and didnt observe any charted power lines crossing on the segment of the river that he was flying, he subsequently saw three wooden poles and a crossbeam along the edge of the river and pulled up. He heard a loud bang a…

Its crew lost control of the business jet on a maintenance test flight at about 1800 Central time. The event occurred while setting up for a stall series at 17,000 feet msl. The two pilots and four passengers sustained minor injuries. The crew calculated that the stick shaker was to activate at 115 knots, with stick pusher activation at 107.5 knots. Aerodynamic stall was expected at 105.5 knots. As the airplane slowed through approximately 126 KIAS, it abruptly rolled off onto the right wing and the nose dropped rapidly. There was no vibration or abnormal indication. The airplane rolled five to seven times, both to the right and the left. After neutralizing the ailerons, the pilot began a h…
