Date Location Reg# Severity Damage Probable Cause
Jun 26, 2011 Romeoville, IL N732BX Fatal (1) substantial A total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion as a result of the pilot’s inadequate fuel planning.
Jun 26, 2011 St Johns, AZ N2725V Serious (3) substantial The pilot did not attain and maintain an adequate airspeed during the takeoff initial climb, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
Jun 24, 2011 Castroville, TX N731ST Incident substantial The pilot's failure to maintain obstacle clearance during the agricultural spraying flight.
Jun 24, 2011 Palo Alto, CA N222MF Incident substantial A total loss of engine power for undetermined reasons during the landing approach over unsuitable terrain.
Jun 23, 2011 Warrenton, VA N3152U Incident substantial The fatigue failure of the left main landing gear due to inadequate maintenance inspection that did not detect and correct corrosion pitting.
Jun 21, 2011 Phoenix, AZ N6160Q Incident substantial

The mechanic's failure to properly secure the nose landing gear actuator push-pull tube to the landing gear door hinge clevis, which resulted in the gear jamming and not fully retracting after takeoff.
Jun 20, 2011 Caldwell, ID N3278Q Minor substantial The total loss of power in one engine during takeoff due to the blockage of fuel flow by a foreign object in the fuel tank.
Jun 20, 2011 Soldotna, AK N331AA Incident substantial The pilot's failure to maintain pitch control resulting in an aerodynamic stall.
Jun 19, 2011 North Adams, MA N12477 Incident substantial The pilot's inadequate visual lookout and subsequent failure to maintain clearance from a light pole while taxiing.
Jun 19, 2011 Santa Teresa, NM N739ZN Incident substantial The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind condition, resulting in a runway excursion.
Jun 19, 2011 Gulfport, MS N54120 Incident —

The pilot's decision to depart on the flight with a suspected mechanical deficiency and his subsequent decision to fly the final approach at a reduced power setting. Contributing to the accident was the improper timing of the magneto(s) that resulted in a severe detonation event.
Jun 18, 2011 Truth or Consequences, NM N735JY Incident substantial The pilot's inability to control the airplane on take off.
Jun 18, 2011 Bedford Park, IL N172NT Incident substantial A loss of engine power due to a fractured push rod precipitated by a stuck exhaust valve.
Jun 18, 2011 Mount Pleasant, UT N65654 Serious (2) substantial The pilot’s failure to determine the airplane’s fuel quantity before takeoff, which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.
Jun 18, 2011 Albia, IA N900SR Serious (1) substantial
The pilot's inadequate preflight inspection, in which he did not detect that less fuel was on board the airplane than planned, which precipitated a lo…

The pilot's inadequate preflight inspection, in which he did not detect that less fuel was on board the airplane than planned, which precipitated a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion during initial descent.
Jun 18, 2011 Trinca, NJ N714TX Incident substantial The pilot's failure to maintain directional control, and the flight instructor's inadequate remedial action, which resulted in a ground-loop.
Jun 17, 2011 Big Lake, AK N3934B Incident substantial The pilot's failure to maintain the proper glide path during his landing approach, resulting in an undershoot and collision with terrain.
Jun 15, 2011 Belle Glades, FL N4954G Incident substantial The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during the landing approach.
Jun 15, 2011 Nashville, TN N129SG Incident substantial The pilot-in-command's failure to execute a go-around when the airplane was high and fast on the final approach.
Jun 14, 2011 Cortez, CO N6017J Incident substantial The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control while landing in gusty crosswind conditions.
Jun 14, 2011 Covington, GA N6026P Incident destroyed The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff.
Jun 14, 2011 Glasgow, MT N9802V Minor substantial The pilot's improper fuel management, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.
Jun 13, 2011 Grand Forks, ND N539ND Incident substantial The flight instructor’s delayed remedial action to the student pilot’s bounced landing and subsequent loss of aircraft control.
Jun 12, 2011 Skwentna, AK N8221V Incident substantial The pilot's loss of directional control during landing.
