Recent Beech A36TC accidents
The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed after takeoff due to his distraction by the opening of the cabin door, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack and an aerodynamic stall/mush condition at too low of an altitude to recover. Contributing to the accident was the airplane’s overweight condition, which increased its stall speed and adversely affected its control characteristics.
The pilot’s delayed decision to abort the takeoff due to insufficient airspeed.
A partial loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control following a total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
A loss of control during takeoff for reasons that could not be determined.
The noninstrument-rated pilot's intentional visual flight rules flight into instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in a loss of airplane control due to spatial disorientation. Contributing to the accident were the pilot's overreliance on his limited instrument training.
A mistrim condition while the autopilot was engaged for reasons that could not be determined based on available evidence, and the pilot’s subsequent failure to confirm the command bar status before disengaging the autopilot. Contributing to the accident were the pilot’s misinterpretation of the event based on a previous unrelated experience, a jammed trim switch, and autopilot disconnect switch which broke off in flight, and the stress induced by the physical exertion required to maintain control of the airplane.
