Recent Beech 35 accidents
The student pilot’s failure to attain a proper airspeed and climb attitude during takeoff, which led to the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident were the student pilot’s lack of experience and poor judgement.
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll in gusting wind conditions.
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control after landing. A contributing factor was a degraded left main landing gear wheel assembly.
The pilot’s delayed decision to abort the takeoff, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with a ditch.
The pilots’ failure to maintain adequate airspeed during a simulated power-off approach in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack, an aerodynamic stall, and loss of control.
A total loss of engine power due to the flight crew incorrectly placing the fuel selector between fuel tank detents, which resulted in fuel starvation. Contributing to the accident was the lack of a placard on the fuel selector, the lack of obvious fuel tank detents in the fuel selector, and the flight crew’s lack of understanding of proper fuel selector operation.
The pilot’s mismanagement of fuel onboard, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.
An empennage flutter event for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
