Recent Beech A23-24 accidents
The pilot’s inadequate preflight planning, which resulted in a rejected takeoff and subsequent runway excursion.
The student pilot’s failure to maintain directional control, and the flight instructor’s lack of remedial action during a landing attempt in a gusty wind, which resulted in a loss of directional control and runway excursion.
A total loss of engine power due to multiple connecting rod failures from oil starvation associated with an extensive before takeoff oil system leak, the source of which could not be identified due to postaccident fire damage.
The mechanic’s improper maintenance when he reinstalled the fuel servo during the last annual inspection, which resulted in a loss of engine power during cruise flight when the throttle control rod-end disconnected from the fuel servo throttle linkage.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and separation of the left main landing gear.
The pilot’s failure to maintain the proper glidepath during the night visual approach, which resulted in impact with a runway threshold light, and his improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's fatigue.
A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because engine examination and testing did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot's inadequate flare and failure to maintain directional control during the aborted landing.
