Factors associated with the accident were low ceilings, mountainous/hilly terrain features, rain, and fog. |
| Sep 16, 1998 | CONCRETE, WA | CFZEY | Fatal (2) | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control for undetermined reasons. Night conditions were a factor. |
| Sep 14, 1998 | MT COOK, NZ | ZKDKL | Fatal (3) | — | Investigation pending |
| Sep 14, 1998 | MONTEZUMA CRK, UT | N737NH | Fatal (1) | destroyed | The pilot's attempted aerobatic maneuver and the subsequent inadvertent stall/spin. A factor was his intentional low altitude flight. |
| Sep 12, 1998 | LAGRANGEVILLE, NY | N4709Q | Fatal (1) | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during the takeoff, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin. |
| Sep 03, 1998 | WEST JORDAN, UT | N8232B | Fatal (2) | destroyed | The pilot's failure to maintain proper airport traffic pattern altitude. Factors were night lighting conditions and the unseen static line. |
