Recent Beech B19 accidents
The failure of the right main landing gear during the landing roll, which resulted in a loss of control on the ground and collision with an airport sign.
The pilot’s decision to maneuver the airplane at a low altitude toward rising terrain, which exceeded the climb capability of the airplane.
The student pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing, aerodynamic stall, and impact with the runway.
A partial loss of engine power as a result of carburetor icing that formed while the engine was operating at a low power setting for an extended period before departure.
The failure of the certified flight instructor to attain the proper glidepath which resulted in a collision with a fence and terrain.
The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during initial climb with a crosswind when the airspeed decreased, the airplane exceeded its critical angle of attack and aerodynamical stalled at too low an altitude for the pilot to recover before the airplane descended and landed hard.
The pilot's failure to move the fuel selector position to the "on" position before takeoff, which resulted in a total loss of engine power and necessitated a forced landing to a field shortly after takeoff, and his subsequent improper decision to take off from unsuitable terrain, which resulted in collision with an embankment and a postcrash fire.
The pilot's failure to see and avoid tall grass along the side of the runway during the takeoff roll, which resulted in his loss of directional control, a runway excursion, and nose-over.
