Aviation Mishaps. A forum for discussion about aviation incidents and accidents. Please include the date location, and aircraft type in the title to avoid duplicate threads. 1. 2. 3. …. 38. Next.
Stall speeds and stall characteristics are part of this. The IV-P is extremely unforgiving. Add to that a rotten glide ratio and an engine failure is a real problem. Speeds are much faster. 240-300 is doable for pistons. 230-240 is more of an economy cruise. In the 400, that'd be more like 180.
SpringFord. Oct 28, 2024. #7. Craig said: If I read the appeals court document correctly, due to bad wording on the request for alternative service, the summary judgement was reversed. Hmmm. "the affidavit of non-service was devoid of any information to support that Gryder could probably be found where the process server had attempted to serve ...
Jun 27, 2021. #1. A recent FAA Safety Briefing has been released on the subject of the exhaust systems found in general aviation and the increasing number of injuries and fatalities from their failure. The article seems to imply the only way to truly determine if your exhaust system is up to par, is to remove it and visually inspect the inside.
I examine homebuilt accidents from 1998-2021, for example, and the aircraft in the deregistered list may come from far before that time period...makes the results a bit better. Also, based on the percentage of the number of accidents (the first graphic), the Rotax 912 and the Continental O-200 come out about the same.
The "Accident Rate" is the average percent of that model of aircraft that have an accident in any give year. Low is good. The "Fatality Rate" is the percentage of accidents that result in at least one fatality. Again, low is good. If I discover a way to build tables on POA, I'll replace this image with a table.
Aircraft was observed to spin in. Some speculation the pilot was performing aerobatics was based on the pilot's pre-flight comments, but the NTSB notes this might have been just a joke. Only 21 accidents in my 1998-2020 database not enough for any real conclusions. Just about the same number of accidents over the time period as the Vans RV-10.
I thought the blog used to have an about link where it explained the woman who started it Kathryn had a husband who was killed in a GA crash. She made this blog to point out how many people were killed flying General Aviation. I can't find that link anymore she could have sold the website to someone else who took that link away.
This factors into the biggest category for my analysis process: "Pilot Miscontrol." This category addresses stick-and-rudder errors that lead to accidents. Cirrus: 51.1% of accidents. Cessna 210: 35.1%. HPHB: 37.9%. The fact that the Cirrus pilots have lower total time probably is the main driver here.
In 2020, the annual FAA GA Survey said that fixed-wing piston aircraft flew an average of 95 hours. But only 45% of the fixed-wing piston hours flown by GA are for personal/recreational use. An estimate of the annual flight hours flown for personal or recreational use would give a better comparison to Experimental Amateur-Built aircraft.
