Cessna 150 Safety Record

The fatigue failure of the number two engine cylinder for undetermined reasons during cruise flight. Factors include high vegetation in the area where the pilot found it necessary to make a forced landing.

the pilot's inadequate preflight preparation, and his failure to maintain airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall. Contributing factors were the high density altitude conditions, the terrain barrier (berm).

The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed , which resulted in an inadvertent stall, and subsequent collision with the ground. A contributing factor was low level flight.

The airplane encountered unsuitable terrain and the pilot applied excessive braking during the aborted takeoff. A factor contributing to the accident was the sandy terrain.

The corroded throttle cable resulting in a loss of engine power. Factors were the inadequate annual inspection, the unsuitable terrain encountered during the forced landing, the ditch, and the fence.

the pilot's improper pre-flight planning and decision to depart a field with insufficient runway. Factors were the rough/uneven terrain, high obstructions and the tailwind.

The pilot's failure to refuel the airplane resulting in fuel exhaustion in cruise flight, and his inadvertently stalling the airplane during the ensuing emergency landing.

the failure of the pilot-in-command to follow emergency procedures after smelling smoke that resulted in an electrical fire, damage to the airplane, and a forced landing.

The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during a precautionary landing, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/mush, and uncontrolled descent to the ground. A factor was the pilots' lack of recent experience.

The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for landing, which resulted in a collision with a ditch. A contributing factor in the accident was the presence of a ditch in the landing area.

the partial loss of engine power due to the mixture control rod separating from the carburetor. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.

The flight instructor's inadequate supervision of the dual student and failure to take prompt remedial action, resulting in a collision with a tree, a subsequent loss of control, and collision with the ground.

the loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A contributing factor was the pilot's failure to maintain clearance with the transmission wire during the precautionary landing.

The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during an attempted go-around that resulted in an inadvertent stall and the subsequent collision with the ground.

The pilot's failure to apply carburetor heat that resulted in the loss of engine power. Factors were conditions favorable for the formation of carburetor icing and the selection of unsuitable terrain for a forced landing.

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing and during his subsequent attempt at a go around, resulting in collision with a tree and impact with the terrain.

The student pilot's improper flare and failure to recover from a bounced landing resulting in the subsequent collapse of the nose gear during the landing flare touchdown. A factor contributing to the accident was the student pilot's lack of total experience.
