Cessna150

At 1332 Eastern time, the airplane impacted trees and terrain during initial climb from a private airstrip. Visual conditions prevailed. The student pilot was seriously injured and his passenger was fatally injured. The student pilot had reportedly sold the airplane to the passenger prior to the accident flight. The passenger had an expired student pilot certificate. According to the student pilot, the passenger performed the accident takeoff while seated in the right seat. The student pilot was seated in the left seat. The student pilot described the grass runway as “very bumpy.”

The 58-hour student pilot later stated the airport was reporting 27-to-35-knot sustained winds with gusts from 40 to 45 knots. The pilot then landed on Runway 2 without flaps. During the flare, a gust of wind “picked up” the right side of the airplane and subsequently the airplane dropped to the runway. Examination of the airplane revealed that the fuselage just aft of the engine mount attachment point was buckled.

The airplane was destroyed after collision with terrain and a post-crash fire at 1105 Eastern time; the private pilot was fatally injured. Visual conditions prevailed. The flights purpose was to search for a windsock that detached from its mount due to strong winds earlier in the week. A pilot-rated witness observed the accident flight from start to finish. After some maneuvering, he observed the airplane in “a very low, tight left downwind.” The airplane then entered a tight, steep, low-speed left bank the witness estimated was greater than 45 degrees. After overflying the runway centerline, the pilot pulled the nose over sharply and was in about a 45-degree bank when the left wing dropped and the aircraft dove to the ground.

The airplane was substantially damaged when it impacted terrain during an aborted landing attempt. The Student pilot was conducting her first solo landing. After turning final and selecting 40 degrees of flaps, she reduced engine power once she “knew that [she] had the runway made.” Then, she “flared too soon,” the airplane “landed hard” and bounced back into the air.

At approximately 1035 Eastern time, the airplane was substantially damaged when it impacted a house and terrain. Visual conditions prevailed. The Student pilot and his passenger were fatally injured. There were no ground injuries reported. The local flight departed at approximately 0900.

The airplane was substantially damaged at about 0930 Central time when it nosed over during a forced landing following loss of engine power. Visual conditions prevailed; the Private pilot and one passenger were not injured.

At approximately 1840 Central tine, the airplane was destroyed during impact with terrain following a loss of control during a landing approach. The Flight Instructor and Student pilot were fatally injured. Visual conditions prevailed. According to witnesses, the wind was reported at about 20 knots, gusting in excess of 25 knots. The airplane was observed to take off and level out. It then made a slight climb before a sharp 180-degree turn was observed. The witnesses stated that the airplane then lost altitude, before climbing back up to about 200-300 feet again, at which time the airplane made a sharp, high-banked turn towards the runway. During the turn the left wing continued to drop, and…

At 1145 Eastern time, the airplane collided with the ground shortly after takeoff. Visual conditions prevailed. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces; the Airline Transport pilot and Private-rated passenger were fatally injured. A witness stated the pilot had topped off the airplanes fuel tanks. The witness noted that the takeoff roll was much longer that expected. The airplane climbed to approximately 50 feet, followed by a left turn. The witness stated that the airplane never exceeded 50 feet agl. The airplane came to rest a mile from the airport in a residential subdivision….

The 23-hour Student pilot was flying his second solo flight in a tricycle gear single-engine airplane. While attempting a second landing, he misjudged the landing flare and the airplane bounced. During the recovery, he inadvertently pushed the yoke forward into a nose-low attitude. The nose landing gear impacted the runway and separated from the airframe….

At 1727 Eastern time, the airplane was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power. The Flight Instructor and the Student pilot sustained minor injuries. Visual conditions prevailed. The instructor later said that the airplane was in cruise flight at 1500 feet when the engine lost power. At that time, he noted that the fuel quantity indicator for the right tank showed one-quarter full, and the left tank indicator showed three-quarters full. The engine would not restart, but when the primer was pumped, the engine produced short bursts of power. The instructor gave control of the primer to the student, and used the short bursts of power to help the airplane r…
