Recent Universal Stinson 108-2 accidents
The pilot's failure to maintain obstacle clearance which resulted in an in-flight collision with a tree. Contributing to the accident was his impairment from the effects of alcohol consumption.
The pilot’s inadequate flare and loss of directional control during landing which resulted in a runway excursion. Contributing to the accident was the instructor’s delayed remedial action.
The pilot's delayed decision to abort the takeoff roll, which resulted in a runway overrun and airplane nose over.
The pilots’ failure to appropriately apply the landing gear wheel brakes after landing, to properly perform the hard brake pedal-no braking condition procedure following the reported brake failure and to apply the emergency brakes. The reason for the reported brake failure could not be determined because postincident examination did not reveal any malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation of the brakes.
