BeechBonanza

The pilot departed on a 1+50 cross-country flight with approximately 30 gallons of fuel in each wing tank (approximately 27 gallons usable fuel per side). The flight was uneventful until he started a descent from 8000 feet msl to 3000 feet, when the engine made “two pops” and “quit.” The pilot said there was no engine roughness, “It just stopped.” He made several attempts to restart the engine, but was unsuccessful. The pilot declared an emergency and landed in a field. Upon landing, the nose gear dug into the dirt and separated from the airplane.

The airplane collided with terrain at about 1606 Pacific time, sustaining substantial damage. The private pilot and passenger sustained fatal injuries. Visual conditions prevailed. While in cruise at 16,500 feet msl, the pilot requested and received an IFR clearance to Fresno from ATC, with a further clearance to 14,000 feet. A subsequent clearance was issued was issued to 7000 feet.

At 1419 Eastern time, the airplane was destroyed when it impacted a house during a forced landing. The private pilot and two passengers were fatally injured. Visual conditions prevailed. While in cruise, the pilot reported vibrations in the propeller and engine. Daytona Approach advised that airports in the area were IFR with cloud ceilings of 900 to 1000 feet agl.

At about 1950 Central time, the airplane collided with trees and terrain while maneuvering for landing at a private airstrip. The pilot was seriously injured; two passengers were fatally injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. Instrument conditions prevailed. While en route, the pilot was receiving flight-following services from ATC. At 1936, the pilot advised ATC he had the airport in sight. Radar services were then terminated. The airplane struck trees and terrain about ½ mile northeast of the airport. A post-impact fire ensued.

At about 1310 Eastern time, the airplane was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power. The private pilot and passenger were not injured. Instrument conditions prevailed; an IFR flight plan had been filed for the flight. During cruise, ATC advised the pilot of an area of precipitation. The pilot requested a deviation; ATC advised the pilot to “turn left.” As he initiated the turn, the airplane encountered severe turbulence and the pilot’s primary flight display temporarily “went black.” The pilot used standby instrumentation for control and initiated an emergency descent. The airplane had exited turbulence and IMC at about 4000 feet msl when the pilot heard a “bang.”

At 0727 Eastern time, the airplane was substantially damaged when it impacted trees and terrain during a forced landing. The airline transport pilot in the left seat was seriously injured; the commercial pilot in the right seat was fatally injured. Visual conditions prevailed. During initial climb, at 0725 and an altitude of 1100 feet msl, the pilot advised ATC, “eight delta romeo just lost our engine.”

At about 1350 Mountain time, the pilot made a forced landing, substantially damaging the airplane. The pilot and two passengers were not injured. Visual conditions prevailed. Shortly after leveling off at 8000 feet msl, engine rpm increased to redline. The pilot was able to reduce power to 2700 rpm but was unable to maintain altitude. He made a forced landing in a field, During the landing, the left wing struck terrain and separated from the fuselage.

The airplane was substantially damaged during a gear-up landing at 1025 Eastern time. The airline transport pilot and his passenger were not injured. Visual conditions prevailed.The pilot later stated the airplane experienced an electrical failure and the alternator “fail” light illuminated. After the passenger performed the emergency landing gear extension procedure, the pilot “confirmed” the landing gear handle would no longer rotate. The electrical power loss precluded confirmation of landing gear extension.The airplane completed a “no-bounce” landing and then settled to the runway on its belly. A mechanic supervising recovery estimated the gear was maybe five-percent deployed. Another mechanic entered the airplane, engaged the manual gear handle and lowered the gear to the down-and-locked position. The battery master switch was turned on and three green down-and-locked lights illuminated.

At approximately 2118 local time, the airplane was substantially damaged when it collided with terrain. The solo private pilot was fatally injured. Night visual conditions prevailed.

The airplane was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power during cruise flight. The accide nt occurred at 1626 Eastern time. The private pilot and passenger sustained minor injuries. Visual conditions prevailed, and an IFR flight plan was filed. The airplane was in cruise flight at 7000 feet when it lost engine power. The pilot determined the airplane would not reach an airport and selected a forced landing site. During the descent, the pilot performed remedial actions in accordance with the checklist, and switched the fuel selector from the right tank position to the left tank.
