Recent Piper PA-31T1 accidents
The degraded airplane performance after takeoff for reasons that could not be determined from available evidence.
The loss of engine power and the subsequent pilot's loss of control for reasons that could not be determined because post-accident engine examination revealed no anomalies.
A rapid onset of smoke and/or fire inflight for reasons that could not be determined due to the postimpact fire and the condition of the wreckage.
The pilot’s failure to regain airplane control following a sudden rapid descent during cruise flight, which resulted in an exceedance of the design stress limits of the aircraft and led to an in-flight structural failure.
The pilot’s failure to establish and maintain a stabilized final approach which resulted in a hard landing and runway overrun.
