Beechcraft King Air 100 Runway Excursion
mmediately after landing, the aircraft started skidding to the right and departed the landing surface, coming to rest 1600 feet from the threshold and 40 feet to the right of the runway. The aircraft was substantially damaged… Continue Reading →
Beechcraft King Air 200 CFIT Into Mountainous Terrain
The US NTSB determined that the probable cause of this accident was the flight crew’s failure to properly execute the published instrument approach procedure, including the published missed approach procedure, which resulted in controlled flight into terrain. Contributing to the cause of the accident was the flight crew’ failure to use all available navigational aids…… Continue Reading →
Beechcraft King Air 200 Control Difficulty due to Airframe Icing
During cruise flight at 15 000 feet above sea level, the aircraft was in icing conditions. The aircraft?s ice-protection equipment dealt effectively with the icing conditions until about 45 minutes after take-off, when the aircraft began to accumulate ice at a rate that exceeded the capabilities of the ice-protection equipment. The airspeed decreased to the…… Continue Reading →
Beechcraft King Air 200 In Flight Electrical System Failure and Loss Of Control
The US NTSB determined that the probable cause of this accident was the pilot’s spatial disorientation resulting from his failure to maintain positive manual control of the airplane with the available flight instrumentation. Contributing to the cause of the accident was the loss of AC electrical power during instrument meteorological conditions…. Continue Reading →
Beechcraft King Air 300 Runway Excursion On Landing
the aircraft touched down over 2400 feet past the Runway 24 threshold. As soon as it touched down, the aircraft started to turn left on the snow-covered runway. Full right rudder was used in an attempt to regain directional control. However, the aircraft continued to turn left, departed the runway,… Continue Reading →
Beechcraft_King_Air_300-Stall_During_Approach.pdf
The aircraft was above the glide slope and the airspeed was approximately 100 knots indicated airspeed. The normal approach speed is approximately 125 KIAS. The PF began to take corrective action just as the aircraft stalled. The PF initiated a stall recovery by applying maximum power and lowering the aircraft’s nose…. Continue Reading →
King Air 90 Near CFIT After High Bank Angle
The Pilot flew a manual instrument approach in daylight Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) followed by an overshoot. During the overshoot the aircraft rolled to the right in excess of 90°. The PNF took control and initially attempted to recover. He then decided to continue the roll to the right through 360°. With a high power…… Continue Reading →
OTHERPROPS BE100 Loss of Control
Investigation of the accident that killed a U.S. senator and seven others leads to calls for increased surveillance of on-demand aircraft operators, implementation of crew resource management training programs for two-pilot flight crews and development of low-airspeed-alert systems….

OTHERPROPS BE1900 CFIT During Unstabilized, Homemade Approach
The crew of a Raytheon Beech 1900D used self-programmed global positioning system (GPS) waypoints for navigation during a night approach to a Canadian airport with weather conditions below minimums for the published nonprecision instrument approach…. Continue Reading →
OTHERPROPS BE1900 Loss of Control After Misrigged Elevator and Aft Loading
Limited nose-down elevator travel and an excessive aft center of gravity rendered the twin-turboprop airplane uncontrollable in pitch on takeoff from Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S. The accident report cited incorrect rigging of the elevator-control system and deficiencies in maintenance oversight and in calculation of passenger weights and baggage weights….

OTHERPROPS BE1900 Two Aircraft Collision On takeoff
All the occupants of the Beechcraft 1900C and the Beechcraft King Air A90 died from the inhalation of smoke, soot or other products of combustion in the postaccident fire that consumed both aircraft…. Continue Reading →
OTHERPROPS BE200 Airplane Crash After Pilot Becomes Spatially Disoriented
A Raytheon Super King Air 200 was transporting members of a collegiate basketball team in instrument meteorological conditions when the alternating-current electrical system malfunctioned. The report said that the pilot became spatially disoriented. The pilot’s control inputs placed a large aerodynamic load on the aircraft and caused it to break apart at low altitude….
