Recent Beech G18S accidents
An engine power loss for reasons that could not be determined because the airplane was not recovered.
The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed and use the appropriate flaps setting during sport-parachuting operations, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall/spin and a subsequent loss of control. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s failure to follow company guidance by allowing more than four passengers in the door area during exit, which shifted the airplane’s center of gravity aft.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion, and main landing gear collapse.
