The pilot's improper in-flight decision to make a precautionary landing after sustaining a total loss of electrical power with sufficient fuel remaini…The pilot's improper in-flight decision to make a precautionary landing after sustaining a total loss of electrical power with sufficient fuel remaining to reach his destination airport. This resulted in an off field landing to an off site location in a remote area (open field) without landing lights and a subsequent on-ground collision with a berm on landing rollout. A factor to the accident was a failed voltage regulator. |
| Dec 27, 2001 | Falmouth, KY | N660DD | Minor | substantial | The pilot's continued flight into known adverse weather. A factor was the snow. |
| Dec 21, 2001 | Vero Beach, FL | N3776Y | Minor | substantial | The pilot's inadequate preflight fuel requirements for the flight, resulting in fuel exhaustion and the subsequent loss of engine power. |
| Dec 10, 2001 | Honolulu, HI | N6136G | Minor | substantial | Fuel exhaustion due to the pilot's inadequate preflight inspection and improper in-flight decision and planning. |
| Nov 26, 2001 | Reidsville, GA | N1840H | Minor | destroyed |
