Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to takeoff in IFR conditions and fly a single-pilot operation without a functioning autopilot and with malfunctioning flight instruments. |
| Oct 18, 2013 | Fairbanks, AK | N1512Y | Fatal (1) | substantial | The pilot’s failure to ensure that adequate fuel was on board the airplane, which resulted in fuel exhaustion and a subsequent collision with terrain. |
| Oct 18, 2013 | Clayton, OK | N30495 | Fatal (1) | substantial | Controlled flight into terrain for reasons that could not be determined from the available evidence. |
| Oct 17, 2013 | Slatington Airport, PA | N305CR | Minor | substantial |

Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to land with a tailw…The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind conditions during landing. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to land with a tailwind condition and the airfield's inaccurate windsock. |
| Oct 14, 2013 | Loreto, BCS, MX | XA-TXM | Fatal (14) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
| Oct 14, 2013 | Christmas, FL | N65704 | Incident | substantial | An inflight collision with a bird during cruise flight. |

| Oct 10, 2013 | Hampton Roads, VA | N4TK | Fatal (4) | destroyed |
The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control due to spatial disorientation in low-visibility conditions while maneuvering during a missed approach…The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control due to spatial disorientation in low-visibility conditions while maneuvering during a missed approach. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s ineffective use of the onboard GPS equipment. |
| Oct 10, 2013 | Tomball, TX | N999UF | Incident | substantial | The student pilot delay in aborting the takeoff which resulted in the airplane going off the end of the runway and impacting trees. |
| Oct 09, 2013 | Onaway, MI | N9757N | Incident | substantial | An inadvertent collision with a deer during landing. |
| Oct 08, 2013 | Ridgely, MD | N4216V | Incident | substantial | A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence. |
| Oct 05, 2013 | Gainesville, FL | N8715U | Minor | substantial | A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because a postaccident engine examination and test run revealed no anomalies. |
| Oct 04, 2013 | Paulden, AZ | N312GC | Fatal (4) | substantial |
The pilot’s failure to maintain sufficient altitude to clear a radio tower while maneuvering at low altitude and his decision to make a high-speed, lo…The pilot’s failure to maintain sufficient altitude to clear a radio tower while maneuvering at low altitude and his decision to make a high-speed, low pass over the gun club. |
| Sep 30, 2013 | Rio Vista, TX | N8878B | Incident | substantial |
The student pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed during the initial climb after an excessive takeoff run from a grass airstrip, which resulte…The student pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed during the initial climb after an excessive takeoff run from a grass airstrip, which resulted in the exceedance of the airplane's critical angle-of-attack and a subsequent aerodynamic stall and loss of control. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor's inadequate supervision and delayed remediation. |
| Sep 30, 2013 | Santa Monica, CA | N194SJ | Fatal (4) | destroyed |

| Sep 29, 2013 | Pilot Point, AK | N1592F | Incident | substantial | The pilot's decision to land the airplane on the ramp, in the vicinity of buildings, in gusty wind conditions. |
| Sep 29, 2013 | Santa Teresa, NM | N3078F | Incident | substantial | A loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because no anomalies were found during the postaccident engine examination. |
| Sep 28, 2013 | Big Bear, CA | N759UP | Minor | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain a stabilized landing approach, which resulted in a collision with a fence short of the runway. |
