Recent Beech 19A accidents
The pilot’s failure to maintain proper airspeed during a turn and his exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack, which resulted in an accelerated stall. Contributing to the accident was the improper placement of the fuel selector, which resulted in fuel starvation and a partial loss of engine power.
The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for landing, which resulted in the right main landing (MLG) tire impacting a rock and the subsequent loss of directional control and collapse of the right MLG.
The pilot's controlled flight into terrain for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to fly at low altitude in close proximity to the rising terrain.
The pilot's failure to reposition the fuel selector valve to the on position prior to takeoff resulting in a loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's failure to properly complete the pre-takeoff checklist.
The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during an attempted go-around.
The pilot's inadequate fuel planning, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.
The pilot's inadvertent encounter with icing conditions during initial climb. Contributing to the accident were the lack of visibility during the landing due to an ice covered windscreen, and the structural ice that adversely affected the flight characteristics of the airplane.
