Cessna172

The Student pilot and Flight Instructor were returning from a local training flight. During the attempted landing on Runway 33, the airplane lifted off after touchdown. The instructor reported increasing powerbut the airplane yawed into the left crosswind. The airplane then exited the runway into the grass adjacent to the runway.

At approximately 1502 Eastern time the two airplanes collided in flight. Both airplanes were destroyed following separate uncontrolled descents and impacts. The Flight Instructor and Private pilot aboard the Cessna sustained fatal injuries, as did the Private pilot aboard the Beech.

The airplane impacted rising mountainous terrain during a course reversal turn at about 1620 Mountain time. The airplane was destroyed, and the two Private pilots aboard were fatally injured. Visual conditions prevailed. On-scene examination of the accident site revealed the airplane impacted a rocky outcrop adjacent to the upsloping north side of a box-like canyon. The airplane was located on the north side of a drainage area that leads up the center of the canyon, and it was approximately 250 feet below the canyons ridgeline.

At 1130 Central time, the two airplanes collided while the T210R was executing a go-around. The Cessna 172K sustained substantial damage to the left horizontal stabilizer while the Cessna T210R reported minor damage. No one aboard the two Cessnas was injured.

At 0800 Central time, the airplane was destroyed when it collided with a mountain ridge. The Commercial pilot and single passenger were fatally injured. Instrument conditions prevailed; no flight plan had been filed, the airplane was not operating on an IFR clearance and was not in contact with ATC. According to the Birmingham (Ala.) Tracon, the airplane was tracked heading in a southerly direction at an altitude of 1100 feet when it began to descend and turned in a northerly direction. The airplane continued to descend and was lost off radar at an altitude of 900 feet.

The Private pilot reported that the airplane was parked on the ramp with its engine idling when a female taking pictures of the pilot and passengers inadvertently walked into the turning propeller. There was no damage to the airplane and the pilot and three passengers were not injured. The female who walked into the propeller sustained serious injuries. Night visual conditions prevailed.

The airplane was destroyed by an impact with terrain at 2035 Central time following an in-flight encounter with weather while maneuvering. The non-Instrument-rated Private pilot and his two passenger were fatally injured. Night instrument conditions prevailed. At approximately 2032, the pilot reported that he was descending to 2500 for avoid clouds at his altitude.

The Student pilot was on her first solo flight, performing touch and goes on Runway 17. During her first landing, she began her flare too early, bounced hard and ballooned. The airplane bounced a second time and went off the left side of the runway. The right landing gear impacted a runway sign as the pilot attempted to abort the landing. Reported winds were 180 degrees magnetic at 10 knots with no gusts.

At about 1830 Central time, the airplane was destroyed when it impacted terrain. The aircraft was being operated in instrument conditions without a flight plan. The Private pilot and passenger received fatal injuries. The local flight originated from a nearby airport about 15 minutes earlier.

The airplane sustained substantial damage when it nosed over during landing. The pilot stated, “As I descended, I was not able to see as well as normal. As we touched the ground, we bounced a little, then touched down. The front wheel broke off, which caused the nose of the airplane to go into the […]
