| Aug 13, 2014 | Braithwaite, LA | N2272X | Minor | substantial | The pilot's mismanagement of the fuel system, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation and the subsequent forced landing. |
| Aug 13, 2014 | PINE BLUFFS, WY | N2830X | Incident | substantial | The pilot's inadequate flare and failure to maintain aircraft control while landing. |
| Aug 13, 2014 | Columbus, NM | N9849V | Incident | substantial |
The pilot’s failure to release the load of agricultural product before the landing approach and his failure to maintain aircraft control during an ini…The pilot’s failure to release the load of agricultural product before the landing approach and his failure to maintain aircraft control during an initial climb after an aborted landing, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall. |
| Aug 10, 2014 | Salmon, ID | N7784A | Incident | substantial |

| Aug 09, 2014 | Mitu, CO | HK-1921 | Fatal (1) | substantial | Investigation pending |
| Aug 09, 2014 | Senoia, GA | N7968Z | Fatal (2) | destroyed |

| Aug 08, 2014 | Lake of the Woods, CA | N1292S | Fatal (3) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
| Aug 06, 2014 | Valkaria, FL | N9400E | Minor | substantial |
The pilot's misjudgment of speed and distance on final approach during a precautionary landing, resulting in a touchdown off the departure end of the …The pilot's misjudgment of speed and distance on final approach during a precautionary landing, resulting in a touchdown off the departure end of the runway and collision with terrain. A factor in the accident was a partial loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined in post accident testing. |
| Aug 05, 2014 | Manistee, MI | N468LE | Minor | substantial |
The pilot receiving instruction's inability to respond to or compensate for the sudden change in wind direction and speed that the airplane encountere…The pilot receiving instruction's inability to respond to or compensate for the sudden change in wind direction and speed that the airplane encountered shortly after liftoff, which resulted in a tailwind condition, a corresponding decrease in airspeed, and a reduced climb gradient. |
| Aug 02, 2014 | Gansevoort, NY | N1DZ | Fatal (2) | destroyed | The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during initial climb following a banner pick-up, resulting in collision with a tree. |
| Aug 01, 2014 | Apalachicola, FL | N5276U | Minor | substantial | A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined during postaccident examination and testing. |
| Jul 29, 2014 | Pine Bluff, AR | N9836H | Incident | substantial | The inadvertent aerodynamic stall during landing in crosswind conditions. |
| Jul 29, 2014 | Waterloo, NY | N66358 | Minor | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain adequate clearance from obstructions while on approach to the runway. |
| Jul 27, 2014 | Clayton, GA | N2275G | Incident | substantial |
