Recent Piper PA 46-350P accidents
The airplane’s encounter with unexpected low-level wind shear during final approach, which resulted in a hard impact with the runway.
The pilot’s failure to extend the landing gear before landing due to distraction and failure to conduct the before landing checklist.
Failure of the engine mount which resulted in a collapse of the nose landing gear.
The pilot exceeded the airplane’s critical angle of attack during the initial climb, resulting in an aerodynamic stall from which he could not recover. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to take off with the airplane well above its maximum gross weight and outside of its aft center of gravity limit, as well as a gradual reduction in engine power for undetermined reasons.
The total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation as a result of the pilot’s improper configuration of the automatic fuel transfer system. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s failure to adequately monitor the header tank’s fuel quantity.
The mechanic’s failure to properly secure the oil suction screen plug during recent maintenance, which resulted in an oil leak and subsequent loss of engine power due to oil starvation.
