Recent Cessna 210A accidents
A failure of a hydraulic filter, which preluded normal extension of the landing gear. Also causal was the pilot’s failure to confirm that he landing gear was extended before landing, which resulted in a gear up landing.
A total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. Contributing was the pilot’s decision to depart on the flight with an inoperative fuel selector valve.
The total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined.
The pilot's failure to maintain a positive climb rate after takeoff due to spatial disorientation, which resulted in the airplane’s descent into water.
The noncertificated pilot's poor decision to depart on a flight over mountainous terrain in an improperly maintained airplane, and the subsequent encounter with mountain wave turbulence, which resulted in the loss of airplane control and impact with terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's inadequate preflight weather planning.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in a ground-loop.
The pilot's inadequate preflight inspection of the airplane, which resulted in oil starvation and a subsequent engine failure.
