At about 1130 Central time, the airplane departed controlled flight and impacted the ground. The airplane was destroyed. The pilot and his two passengers were fatally injured. Instrument conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The airplane was in cruise flight at 9000 feet msl in an area of heavy rain when the pilot requested and received permission for a deviation around weather.

At approximately 1450 Central time, the airplane was substantially damaged upon impact with terrain following a dual loss of engine power. The commercial pilot and three passengers were seriously injured. Visual conditions prevailed. According to a witness, the airplanes engines were making a “popping” sound during the descent.

At about 1415 Eastern time, the airplane collided with trees and terrain in a residential area. Instrument conditions prevailed; no flight plan was filed for the local flight. The airplane was substantially damaged and the solo private pilot was killed. A few minutes after takeoff, the pilot told ATC he was flying around the city a little bit and was trying to stay below the clouds. Approximately 65 seconds later, the pilot informed ATC he wanted to return for a landing. After several vectors for traffic, ATC advised the pilot to fly a heading toward the airport and to advise when it was in sight; the pilot acknowledged the heading. A controller turnover briefing then occurred, during which the controller being relieved informed the relieving controller of the accident airplanes status.

At 1142 Central time, the airplane crashed into trees and terrain, killing the pilot and one passenger; two other passengers received minor injuries. Visual conditions prevailed; the airplane was substantially damaged. According to the passengers, they were flying at about 7000 feet when the pilot told them he was having engine problems. The pilot restarted the engine, but it stopped again after about 30 seconds. Soon, the airplane began hitting trees and came to a stop.

The airplane was substantially damaged during a forced landing at 2005 Central time following a loss of engine power after takeoff. Both commercial pilots were seriously injured. Visual conditions prevailed.

At about 1130 Eastern time, the airplane was substantially damaged during a forced landing after a loss of engine power during initial climb. The commercial pilot and the passenger/owner of the airplane were killed. Visual conditions prevailed. The airplane reached an altitude of 75 to 100 feet above the ground, when the engine “sputtered” or “coughed,” and then “quit.” The airplane struck two parked, unoccupied airplanes before impacting the ground and colliding with a tractor-trailer container.

The student pilot was landing at the non-towered airport after a cross-country flight when he made a “short approach,” did not use any flaps and used an approach speed about 30 knots faster than normal. The student pilot said he didnt use his normal checklist procedure and that everything seemed to be going “too fast” when the airplane landed on the asphalt runway with the landing gear retracted.

The airplane collided with terrain at about 1642 Pacific time, shortly after taking off on a planned IFR flight in instrument conditions. The private pilot and two passengers were killed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage from impact forces and a post-crash fire.

At 1858 local time the airplane was substantially damaged after departing the side of the runway. The solo private pilot was not injured although the airplane was substantially damaged. Visual conditions prevailed. The pilot later stated he positioned the gear handle in the “down” position, but the three position lights did not activate, so the pilot radioed the control tower and requested an visual inspection of the landing gear. After performing a low approach, tower personnel responded the landing gear appeared to be down. After touchdown, the gear collapsed, the pilot lost control of the airplane and it exited the runway.

At 1729 Eastern time, the airplane collided with a frozen river. The commercial pilot and passenger on board were not injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. Visual conditions prevailed. The airplane picked up light rime ice during descent, breaking out at around 1700 feet MSL, or 900 feet AGL. The pilot was unable to see out of the forward windscreen so he had to look out the side window during the landing. As he neared the airport he attempted to add engine power, but was able to maintain only 17 inches of manifold pressure.
