Also causal was the loss of power in the left engine due to oil starvation. Contributing to the accident were inadequate maintenance that failed to correct an ongoing problem with the engine in the months preceding the accident. |
| Oct 29, 2020 | Port Moresby, OF | P2-MEH | Incident | minor | Investigation pending |
| Oct 28, 2020 | Lebanon, OH | N3537C | Incident | substantial | Improper maintenance that resulted in a blocked crankcase breather port and a subsequent total loss of engine power. |
| Oct 27, 2020 | Pickle Lake, CA | CFPCC | Incident | — | Investigation pending |
| Oct 27, 2020 | Richland, WA | N814BA | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during landing, which resulted in a nose over. |
| Oct 26, 2020 | Lubbock, TX | N9622T | Fatal (1) | destroyed |

Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s self-induced pressure to complete the flight due to the incoming adverse weather conditions and the inadequate inspection of the cabin air heat exchanger. |
| Oct 25, 2020 | Dunnellon, FL | N724BC | Fatal (1) | substantial |

Contributing to the accident was the delayed aborted takeoff. |
| Oct 24, 2020 | Carefree, AZ | N7029T | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack while landing, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. |
| Oct 24, 2020 | Los Alamos, NM | N8251M | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s failure to extend the landing gear, which resulted in the airplane landing with the landing gear retracted. |
| Oct 23, 2020 | Cheworez, OF | Z-YXY | Fatal (1) | substantial | Investigation pending |
| Oct 20, 2020 | Anchorage, AK | N850WB | Incident | substantial |

Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor's inadequate supervision of the pilot while landing. |
| Oct 18, 2020 | Spearfish, SD | N97875 | Incident | substantial | The snowplow driver’s failure to see the airplane which resulted in a collision with the airplane. |
| Oct 17, 2020 | Columbus, MS | N26481 | Incident | substantial | The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during a touch-and-go landing. |
| Oct 16, 2020 | Houma, LA | N707DA | Fatal (2) | substantial | Impact with terrain for reasons that could not be determined with the available information. |
| Oct 15, 2020 | South Hill, WA | N6585L | Minor | substantial |
