Recent Cessna 210 accidents
A fuel leak caused by an age-degraded fuel pressure sender hose, which resulted in fuel starvation and a loss of engine power. Contributing to the accident was inadequate maintenance.
The nose landing gear retract arm separation for reasons that could not be determined.
A total loss of engine power due to a malfunction of the fuel flow manifold valve.
The pilot’s improper decision to fly into icing conditions with an airplane that was not equipped for icing, which led to structural icing and a subsequent loss of airplane control, and the pilot’s impairment from carbon monoxide poisoning due to a cracked heat exchanger. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s self-induced pressure to complete the flight due to the incoming adverse weather conditions and the inadequate inspection of the cabin air heat exchanger.
The failure of the engine-driven hydraulic pump, which resulted in the main landing gear not fully extending and locking into place during landing. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the emergency gear extension system for reasons that could not be determined.
The non-instrument-rated pilot's improper decision to conduct a flight in which instrument meteorological conditions existed along the route of flight, which resulted in spatial disorientation and a loss of airplane control.
Partial retraction of the main landing gear during the landing roll for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination and functional testing of the gear revealed no anomalies.
