Recent Beech V35B accidents
The pilot’s failure to maintain control of the airplane during an aborted landing, which resulted in a runway excursion, collision with a fence, and a hard landing .
The pilot’s failure to establish a positive rate of climb before retracting the landing gear, which resulted in abnormal runway contact during the takeoff roll.
An in-flight engine compartment fire due to a partially loose flexible fuel hose b-nut at the fuel metering unit. Contributing to the severity of the accident was the pilot’s inability to visually identify the destination airport at night, which prolonged the in-flight emergency.
The pilot’s inadvertent use of the mixture control instead of the throttle, which resulted in fuel starvation and the subsequent loss of engine power.
The pilot’s failure to establish a positive rate of climb before retracting the landing gear when he executed an aborted landing, which resulted in a propeller strike, diminished climb performance, and the inadvertent contact with terrain.
The pilot’s decision to execute a steep turn to final approach, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack and an accelerated stall. Contributing to the accident was the improper positioning on base leg and the pilot’s subsequent decision to continue the approach.
The pilot’s failure to maintain control during the landing with gusty wind.
