Recent Cessna 207A accidents
The pilot’s improper short-field takeoff procedure, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and subsequent hard landing.
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control while landing with a crosswind on an ice-covered runway, resulting in a loss of control and subsequent impact with a snowbank. A factor was the check airman’s inadequate supervision.
Maintenance personnel’s failure to detect and correct improper rudder control system alignment, the resulting interference with the pulley’s rotation, and the accelerated corrosion and wear of the control cable, which ultimately led to its failure in flight.
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff in crosswind conditions which resulted in a loss of control and impact with terrain.
The improper installation of an avionics wire harness over a fuel line, which resulted in chafing of the wire harness, arcing, and a subsequent fire.
The pilot’s failure to control the airplane during the landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
The pilot's improper decision to depart from an ice-covered runway with a strong crosswind, which resulted in a loss of directional control, runway excursion, and impact with a ditch.
The pilot's inadequate in-flight fuel management, which resulted in fuel starvation and the subsequent loss of engine power, and her subsequent failure to maintain clearance from trees during the approach to land at a nearby airstrip.
