Recent Cessna 210-5(205) accidents
The pilot’s failure to maintain aircraft control during the landing.
An in-flight loss of control as a result of spatial disorientation in night instrument meteorological conditions.
The pilot’s improper pitch control during the aborted takeoff, which resulted in a bounced landing and landing gear collapse.
The pilot's exceedance of the airplane's critical angle-of-attack during the initial climb after an attempted go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
Maintenance personnel’s inadequate inspection of the No. 2 cylinder valve area during the most recent annual inspection, which resulted in the in-flight failure of the intake valve springs due to rust on the spring surfaces and subsequent fatigue cracking.
The pilot’s inadequate preflight inspection and fuel planning, which resulted in fuel exhaustion and a total loss of engine power during descent.
The pilot elected to abort the takeoff without sufficient runway available to land and stop the airplane. Contributing to the accident was the illusion created by the rising terrain, which influenced the pilot's decision to abort the takeoff.
