Recent Piper PA-22-108 accidents
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing.
A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
A loss of airplane control during approach for reasons that could not be determined based on available evidence.
The total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the engine revealed no mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. Contributing to the outcome was the student pilot's improper decision to conduct a solo cross-country flight at night, which resulted in the airplane being destroyed when it impacted a wooded area that the student thought was an open field.
The pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing.
The pilot’s selection of unsuitable terrain for landing, which resulted in a loss of directional control and subsequent nose-over.
A failed main landing gear tire for reasons that could not be determined due to postcrash fire damage.
The pilot’s descent below glidepath, which resulted in the airplane’s impact with power lines.
