Recent Beech E35 accidents
The pilots’ failure to climb and complete a normal traffic pattern after making a low approach and their failure to extend the flaps for reasons that could not be determined, and the flight instructor’s failure to ensure adequate airspeed and bank control during the turn to final approach, which resulted in an accelerated stall.
The separation of the throttle control cable from the carburetor throttle control lever resulting in the near total loss of engine power. Contributing to the separation of the throttle cable was the lack of proper securing hardware by unknown maintenance personnel.
The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control while aligning the airplane with the runway for landing, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's distraction during landing due to the effects of an inoperative generator.
The pilot’s improper decision to take off from unsuitable terrain with a quartering tailwind.
A partial loss of engine power due to a failure of the number one cylinder exhaust valve, and the associated secondary damage to the intake valve and piston.
