Recent Cessna 310R accidents
The failure of the left engine induction coupling during takeoff, which resulted in a total loss of left engine power and an uncommanded left yaw/roll due to asymmetrical thrust and increased drag, from which the pilot had insufficient altitude to recover control of the airplane.
Pilot incapacitation for undetermined reasons which resulted into controlled descent into terrain.
The pilot’s inadequate fuel planning and inflight fuel management which resulted in exhaustion of his fuel supply and a forced landing.
An in-flight loss of engine power on both engines for undetermined reasons.
A failure of the right main landing gear bellcrank lower arm fork, bellcrank, pivot bolt, and trunnion bellcrank lug for undetermined reasons.
The pilot’s impairment due to exposure to carbon monoxide as a result of undetected engine exhaust penetration into the cockpit, resulting in the pilot's failure to maintain a minimum controllable airspeed after partially securing an engine after takeoff.
The pilot’s failure to maintain the airplane’s minimum controllable airspeed while maneuvering with one engine inoperative. Also causal was the loss of power in the left engine due to oil starvation. Contributing to the accident were inadequate maintenance that failed to correct an ongoing problem with the engine in the months preceding the accident.
