Recent Beech E-90 accidents
The pilot’s poor preflight decision to depart into known instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) without a functional autopilot system, which resulted in spatial disorientation and his failure to maintain aircraft control while flying in IMC during the instrument approach. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s self-imposed pressure to conduct the flight.
The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during an attempted go-around in low visibility conditions.
Structural icing on the tailplane that resulted in a tailplane stall and subsequent loss of control.
The pilot’s failure to maintain sufficient airspeed and his exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack while in icing conditions, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and subsequent ground impact.
The fatigue failure of the right main landing gear upper torque knee.
The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from terrain after takeoff during dark night conditions.
