Recent Raytheon Aircraft Company C90A accidents
Guardian Flight’s inadequate pilot training and performance tracking, which failed to identify and correct the pilot’s consistent lack of skill, and which resulted in the pilot’s inability to maintain his position inflight using secondary instruments to navigate when the airplane’s electronic attitude direction indicator failed, leading to his spatial disorientation and subsequent loss of control. Contributing to the accident was the lack of a visible horizon during dark night overwater conditions and the pilot’s failure to declare an emergency with air traffic control.
A collision with a deer while landing at night.
An autopilot deviation during climb for undetermined reasons, which resulted in an in-flight upset and loss of airplane control. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s failure to adequately monitor flight systems due to a distraction.
The pilot’s failure to maintain a stabilized approach and his subsequent failure to maintain airplane control during the landing flare, which resulted in touchdown off the side of the runway and collision with a ditch.
The cabin entry door inadvertently opening during initial climb.
The impact with a bird during initial takeoff climb.
