Aug 14, 2005 Alabaster, AL N1399G Incident substantial The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
Aug 14, 2005 Durand, WI N6222T Incident substantial The inadequate flare during landing by the pilot. A contributing factor was the lack of certification of the pilot.
Aug 11, 2005 Hillsboro, IL N6601G Incident substantial The improper preflight planning/preparation by the pilot and fuel exhaustion during cruise flight.
Aug 11, 2005 Zeeland, MI N632FA Incident substantial The inadequate flare by the pilot during landing.
Aug 10, 2005 Patuxent River, MD N7880N Incident substantial The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing, resulting in a hard landing.
Aug 10, 2005 Rapid City, SD N9408T Incident substantial

The landing gear extension not possible and inoperative flap system due to fatigue failure of a hydraulic system tube during approach. An additional cause was the improper rebuild/remanufacture of the hydraulic tube. Contributing factors were the dependency of the landing gear and flap systems on the common hydraulic system allowing a single-point failure to affect both systems.

Aug 07, 2005 Kissimmee, FL N732WN Incident substantial A loss of engine power due to the pilot's inaccurate fuel consumption calculations and subsequent fuel exhaustion.
Aug 06, 2005 White Plains, NY N297ME Incident substantial The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing.
Aug 06, 2005 Fort Collins, CO N5136R Incident substantial

the pilot's failure to maintain directional control. Contributing factors were the crosswind, the pilot's failure to compensate for the wind conditions --- allowing the airplane to touch down without being properly aligned with the runway --- and the flight instructor's inadequate supervision of the pilot.

Aug 06, 2005 East Moriches, NY N2422G Incident substantial

The improper installation of the right magneto harness to the magneto housing by unidentified maintenance personnel, which resulted in arcing, significant wear, and a subsequent loss of engine power. Factors in the accident were the pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point during the landing, and a tailwind.

Aug 05, 2005 Seattle, WA N4867C Incident substantial Loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
Aug 05, 2005 Kellogg, ID N6743G Incident substantial

The pilot's failure to follow the correct go-around procedure during landing by advancing the power too rapidly and not repositioning the flaps to the required 20 degree position. Factors include a crosswind and high density altitude.

Aug 04, 2005 Hoquiam, WA N724TM Incident substantial The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from a fence. The fence was a factor.
Aug 02, 2005 El Dorado, AR N80735 Incident substantial The student pilot's improper landing flare resulting in a hard landing and his improper recovery procedures for a bounced landing.
Aug 02, 2005 Daytona Beach, FL N864CP Incident substantial The student pilot's improper flare and recovery from a bounced landing.
Aug 01, 2005 Fairbanks, AK N6946C Incident substantial

The pilot's inadequate compensation for the gusty wind conditions, which resulted is a loss of directional control during landing. A factor associated with the accident was the gusty wind condition.

Jul 31, 2005 New Roads, LA N1703N Incident substantial The pilot's failure to maintain control during the landing roll.
Jul 31, 2005 San Diego, CA N9468X Incident substantial The pilot's failure to ensure that the landing gear was fully extended prior to landing. A contributing factor was the pilot's diverted attention.
Jul 29, 2005 Saratoga, WY N2361F Incident substantial

the pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control and the pilot's improper preflight planning/preparation. Contributing factors include the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed resulting in an inadvertent stall/mush, the pilot's failure to calculate a weight and balance, and the high density altitude.

Jul 28, 2005 McCall, ID N90RW Incident substantial The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind and his failure to maintain directional control. A factor was the crosswind.
Jul 28, 2005 Caldwell, NJ N98730 Incident substantial

The pilot's improper flare, which resulted in a hard landing. A factor was a partial loss of engine power, as reported by the pilot, for undetermined reasons.

Jul 28, 2005 Graham, OK N6776E Incident substantial

The impending loss of engine power as result of the failure of the generator mounting gasket resulting in engine oil starvation. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the precautionary landing.

Jul 26, 2005 Mexico, MO N731SV Incident substantial The pilot's failure to maintain directional control. Factors were the grass terrain adjacent to the runway and the collapse of the main landing gear.
Jul 24, 2005 Talkeetna, AK N332DG Incident substantial
The pilot's failure to compensate for wind conditions and his failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll, which r…

The pilot's failure to compensate for wind conditions and his failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll, which resulted in an excursion off the side of the runway and a nose over.

Jul 21, 2005 Kenai, AK N7886G Incident substantial The pilot's selection of an unsuitable landing area, which resulted in a nose over. A factor associated with the accident was swampy terrain.
