After the Accident

The crash of a Zenith LSA in Missouri shows how multiple factors can come together to create a disastrous outcome.

The pilot failed initial check rides and was said to fly aggressively at low level. And those are the least shocking parts of this story.

The accident shows that when it comes to running out of fuel, one error can compound upon another.

The cargo-converted Convair twin showed signs of a problem before both engines quit. The NTSB wanted to know why the captain, who perished, continued the flight.

Fifty years later, the mystery of N1812H and the many theories behind its disappearance are still relevant.

The fatal loss of control of a Cirrus SR20 in areas of thunderstorms underscores the need for human management of safety features.

Twenty-five years after the plane and skeletal remains were found, questions remain.

The crash of a Piper Arrow just off the Florida Gulf Coast with three lives lost was eerily reminiscent of the crash of John F. Kennedy Jr.’s plane 18 years before it.

More than a decade apart, two pilots, one, an aviation legend and the other a newbie, suffered identical fates when they wandered into severe weather.

Inadequately prepared and briefed for the approach, the crew of a Learjet 35A crashed on approach to Teterboro.
