The pilot-in-command's failure to maintain proper airspeed and his failure to initiate a go-around, which resulted in the airplane touching down too fast on a short, wet runway and a subsequent runway overrun. Contributing to the accident was the copilot's failure to adequately monitor the approach and call for a go around and the flight crew's lack of proper crew resource management.

Oct 01, 2010 St. Johns, MI N3051L Minor substantial The failure by the pilot to attain/maintain a climb rate for undetermined reasons during a go-around.
Sep 25, 2010 Point Lookout, MO N1131U Minor substantial

The pilot receiving instruction's failure to attain the proper touchdown point and execute a go-around and the CFI’s delayed remedial action, which resulted in a runway overrun.

Sep 15, 2010 Nome, AK N87256 Minor substantial The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from terrain during a special VFR approach, resulting in a collision with terrain.
Sep 09, 2010 Huron, NY N180LE Minor substantial The pilot's inadequate preflight planning and preparation, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.
Sep 05, 2010 Pointe a Pitre, GP F-OIXZ Minor substantial Investigation pending
Sep 04, 2010 Virginia Beach, VA N812KT Minor substantial A total loss of power due to water contamination in the fuel. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's inadequate preflight inspection.
Aug 31, 2010 Houma, LA N210PR Minor substantial The pilot’s improper fuel management, which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.
Aug 24, 2010 Ojai, CA N3850D Minor substantial

A loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.

Aug 24, 2010 Gaylord, MI N6032G Minor substantial A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
Aug 19, 2010 Manson, WA N30559 Minor substantial

The pilot's premature turn toward trees during the initial climb. Contributing to the accident was the airplane's high gross weight and density altitude that precluded a normal takeoff and climb.

Aug 13, 2010 Hillsboro, OR N6475X Minor substantial A loss of engine power due to fuel starvation resulting from unporting when the pilot entered into a slip during the turn to the final approach leg.
Aug 13, 2010 Put-in-Bay, OH N14AW Minor substantial A total loss of engine power while on final approach for undetermined reasons.
Aug 09, 2010 Salt Lake City, UT N179MM Minor substantial The pilot’s failure to maintain aircraft control during the landing roll.
Aug 08, 2010 Chattanooga, TN N51745 Minor substantial The student pilot's improper execution of the go-around procedure.
Aug 06, 2010 Roche Harbor, WA N9730H Minor substantial

The pilot’s failure to attain an adequate climb airspeed due to his use of flaps for takeoff, and his selection of a runway, which resulted in an uphill, and possibly downwind, takeoff and subsequent collision with a known obstacle. Contributing to the accident was the operator's cockpit checklist that did not accurately reflect the manufacturer's takeoff procedures.

Aug 01, 2010 Middleberry, VT N34641 Minor substantial The pilot’s delayed decision to abort the takeoff.
Aug 01, 2010 Newton, KS N13013 Minor substantial The pilot’s inadequate flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
