| Oct 25, 2016 | Winnemucca, NV | N7711L | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. |
| Oct 23, 2016 | Buffalo, WY | N97878 | Serious (1) | substantial | The pilot’s failure to set the proper flap position before the short field takeoff, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with terrain. |
| Oct 21, 2016 | Llano, TX | N5075S | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll in cross wind conditions. |
| Oct 20, 2016 | Anchorage, AK | N7565H | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. |
| Oct 20, 2016 | Carrabassett, ME | N1706F | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from trees while maneuvering at a low altitude. |
| Oct 19, 2016 | Cedar Key, FL | N1827Y | Minor | substantial |

Contributing to the accident was the pilot's improper decision to attempt to return to the airport at low altitude and his subsequent failure to maintain adequate airspeed and his exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack, which led to an aerodynamic stall. |
| Oct 18, 2016 | Pflugerville, TX | N210LC | Incident | substantial | Landing gear collapse upon landing due to a hydraulic leak that led to insufficient pressure to fully extend and lock the gear in a down position. |
| Oct 17, 2016 | Miami, FL | N46953 | Incident | substantial | The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the aborted takeoff, which resulted in a runway excursion. |
| Oct 17, 2016 | Cambridge, UK | G-BDZC | Fatal (1) | substantial | Investigation pending |
| Oct 16, 2016 | Peloponnese, GR | 5B-CLB | Fatal (2) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
