Recent Maule M-7-235C accidents
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing.
A loss of directional control during landing, which resulted in a ground loop and substantial damage to the airplane. The pilot flying could not be determined since both pilots claimed that the other was at the controls during the landing. The flight instructor demonstrated poor judgement in accepting the training flight without prior experience in the airplane make and model.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with a culvert.
The separation of the left inboard main landing gear (MLG) attachment bolt due to insufficient torque, which resulted in the collapse of the left MLG.
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing in gusting wind conditions and with an incorrect flap configuration.
The pilot's failure to follow the pre-takeoff checklist and the failure of the left main landing gear brake due to a damaged brake master cylinder piston rod, which resulted in a stuck left brake and subsequent loss of control during the landing roll.
The pilots' initiation of an uncoordinated right turn with the fuel selector positioned to the right main fuel tank, which had a low quantity of fuel in it and resulted in a total loss of engine power due to the unporting of the fuel and subsequent fuel starvation.
The pilot’s improper decision to continue flight under visual flight rules into instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in a collision with trees while on approach for landing.
