Contributin…The improperly maintained floats, which allowed water to fill the front compartments and resulted in the airplane nosing over during taxi. Contributing to the fatal injury of the pilot was the improperly secured cargo, which prevented the pilot from egressing the airplane following the nose-over. |
| Oct 05, 2022 | Navasota, TX | N9019V | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s loss of control while landing resulting in a runway excursion and ground loop. |
| Oct 04, 2022 | Coleman, FL | N16185 | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain an appropriate final approach airspeed, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with a fence. |
| Oct 04, 2022 | Sanford, FL | N455ER | Incident | substantial |

Also causal was the flight instructor’s failure to take remedial action to prevent the hard landing. |
| Oct 03, 2022 | Vielbrunn, GE | F-HMDR | Fatal (1) | unk | Investigation pending |
| Oct 03, 2022 | Boulder City, NV | N511W | Minor | substantial | A total loss of engine power due to oil starvation resulting from the failure of an engine oil filter adapter fiber gasket. |

The pilot’s loss of airplane control due to spatial disorientation during initial climb in dark night and low instrument meteorological conditions, wh…The pilot’s loss of airplane control due to spatial disorientation during initial climb in dark night and low instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in a descent into terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s fatigue due to a long day of flying and personal activities. |
| Oct 02, 2022 | Burnet, TX | N72794 | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll with an unexpected quartering tailwind. |
| Oct 02, 2022 | Curatone, OF | I-EDUK | Fatal (1) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
| Sep 28, 2022 | Monticello, IA | N5244R | Incident | substantial |

A factor in the accident was the instructor’s delayed remedial action which resulted in an inability to recover the airplane from an aerodynamic stall. |
| Sep 27, 2022 | McGregor, TX | N409ST | Incident | substantial | The flight crew’s failure to ensure the landing gear was down which resulted in a gear up landing and subsequent runway excursion. |
| Sep 27, 2022 | Hermiston, OR | N2452F | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s loss of directional control during landing, which resulted in a ground loop. |
| Sep 26, 2022 | Augusta, GA | N745EP | Incident | substantial |
The failure of the nose landing gear to fully extend and lock into position for reasons that could not be determined, which resulted in its collapse d…The failure of the nose landing gear to fully extend and lock into position for reasons that could not be determined, which resulted in its collapse during landing. |
| Sep 26, 2022 | Williston, ND | N93330 | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing, which resulted in a ground loop. |
| Sep 26, 2022 | Superior, MT | N12113 | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s excessive airspeed during a landing, which resulted in a runway overrun and collision with terrain. |
| Sep 25, 2022 | Skwentna, AK | N9728B | Fatal (1) | substantial | The failure of the landing gear float due to inadequate maintenance of the floats and corrosion. |
| Sep 25, 2022 | Lyman, WA | N7471G | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s delayed decision to exit the valley with rising terrain and failure to maintain clearance from trees. |
