The flight instructor’s failure to recover from a developed spin, which resulted in impact with terrain. Contributing to the accident was the flight i…The flight instructor’s failure to recover from a developed spin, which resulted in impact with terrain. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s decision to enter the maneuver below the operator’s altitude limitation. |
| Jun 18, 2022 | Porterville, CA | N3835U | Fatal (1) | destroyed |
Maintenance personnel’s failure to properly secure the elevator control assembly hardware, which resulted in an in-flight disconnection of the elevato…Maintenance personnel’s failure to properly secure the elevator control assembly hardware, which resulted in an in-flight disconnection of the elevator and elevator counterweight and the pilot’s inability to maintain pitch control. |
| Jun 15, 2022 | Itaituba, BR | PT-JUM | Fatal (1) | substantial | Investigation pending |
| Jun 06, 2022 | Kenedy, TX | N2118R | Fatal (2) | destroyed | A loss of airplane control on final approach for reasons that could not be determined. |

| Jun 03, 2022 | Oceanside, CA | N7581F | Fatal (1) | substantial |
The right-seated pilot’s failure to correct the left-seated pilot’s mismanagement of the engine thrust, which resulted in undesired speed and thrust o…The right-seated pilot’s failure to correct the left-seated pilot’s mismanagement of the engine thrust, which resulted in undesired speed and thrust oscillations during the final approach and a subsequent descent into terrain. |
| Jun 02, 2022 | Klobuck, PL | SP-AKW | Fatal (2) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
| May 29, 2022 | Slunj, HR | D-EGLF | Fatal (4) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
| May 26, 2022 | Sandy Lake First Nation, CA | C-GBGJ | Fatal (1) | substantial | Investigation pending |
| May 26, 2022 | Show Low, AZ | N5532R | Fatal (2) | substantial |

Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to attempt a second takeoff without having the engine further examined. |
| May 26, 2022 | Wauwatosa, WI | N4978B | Fatal (1) | substantial | The student pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack, which resulted in a stall from which the student pilot could not recover. |
| May 20, 2022 | MACIZO DEL AUYÁN-TEPUI, OF | YV1729 | Fatal (1) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
| May 20, 2022 | Wayne, NE | N76075 | Fatal (1) | destroyed |
The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack on final approach while conducting traditional short takeoff and landing operations …The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack on final approach while conducting traditional short takeoff and landing operations in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and spin from which the pilot could not recover. Contributing to the accident was the competitive environment, which likely influenced the pilot’s approach speed and the subsequent loss of control. |
