| Jul 01, 2010 | Twin Falls, ID | N64427 | Incident | substantial | The student pilot's improper landing flare. |
| Jul 01, 2010 | Missoula, MT | N3642C | Incident | substantial | The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind conditions and failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. |
| Jul 01, 2010 | Avalon, CA | N222CG | Fatal (1) | substantial | The pilot's incapacitation due to a heart attack, which resulted in a loss of airplane control. |
| Jun 30, 2010 | Huntsville, UT | N9247B | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain adequate clearance from terrain during climb. |
| Jun 30, 2010 | Chesapeake, VA | N6064R | Incident | substantial | A hard landing by person(s)unknown. |
| Jun 30, 2010 | Iliamna, AK | N4596U | Minor | substantial | The total loss of engine power during cruise flight due to a fractured crankshaft. |
| Jun 27, 2010 | Brainerd, MN | N7691M | Incident | substantial | The pilot's loss of airplane control while taking off with gusting wind. |
| Jun 26, 2010 | Cahokia, IL | N2785K | Incident | substantial | The fatigue failure of the axle's attaching bolts during landing. |
| Jun 25, 2010 | St. Charles, MO | N5461B | Incident | substantial | The pilot's improper takeoff procedure that led to a decreased climb rate and subsequent off-airport landing. |
| Jun 25, 2010 | Salisbury, MD | N2373K | Incident | substantial | The student pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing. |
| Jun 25, 2010 | Babylon, NY | N3973Y | Minor | substantial | The loss of engine power due to the failure of the oil filter gasket and the subsequent engine oil depletion. |
| Jun 24, 2010 | Ashdown, AR | N18RR | Minor | substantial | The pilot’s loss of directional control during the takeoff roll and his lack of experience in the airplane. |
| Jun 24, 2010 | Cooper Landing, AK | N7715A | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during takeoff, resulting in an uncontrolled descent and collision with terrain. |
| Jun 23, 2010 | Parker, AZ | N432PB | Minor | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing with a crosswind. |
| Jun 23, 2010 | Bryce Canyon, UT | N55TA | Incident | substantial | The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswinds during takeoff. |
| Jun 22, 2010 | Albuquerque, NM | N9849C | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to lower the landing gear. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's distraction with an erroneous airspeed indicator. |
| Jun 21, 2010 | Lock Haven, PA | N30266 | Fatal (3) | substantial |

The fatigue failure was due to valve guide wear that led to excessive clearance between the valve and valve guide. Contributing to the accident was the contract operator’s lack of compliance with its own maintenance procedures, which, if followed, would have prevented the accident. |
| Jun 21, 2010 | Jasper, TN | N8321J | Incident | substantial | The pilot under instruction's failure to maintain directional control during landing, and his failure to relinquish the flight controls when directed. |
| Jun 21, 2010 | Storm Lake, IA | N800VT | Incident | substantial |
The pilot’s decision to land on a water contaminated runway, which resulted in a runway excursion during the landing roll. Contributing to the acciden…The pilot’s decision to land on a water contaminated runway, which resulted in a runway excursion during the landing roll. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s lack of knowledge regarding the landing distance required and the limited braking effectiveness on a water contaminated runway. |
| Jun 21, 2010 | Broken Hill, AS | VH-UFN | Fatal (1) | substantial | Investigation pending |
| Jun 21, 2010 | Big Creek, ID | N2350C | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control while taxiing at an unfamiliar airstrip. |
| Jun 21, 2010 | Maryland Heights, MO | N1061X | Incident | substantial | The pilot's improper flare, which resulted in a hard landing. |
