Aircraft, Light Plane, Helicopter Crashes

all of these crashes were preventable, exept for the cessna that was landing on the road... that could have been an engine failure, otherwise, with proper checks, and not pushing the plane too hard, all of these people would still be alive. do your preflight well... and dont be dumb... there is no room for mistakes when you're flying...

Having been a pilot, my hunch about the control locks was correct. It's hard to imagine any pilot not seeing the lock in place on the control yolk. There's usually a large red flag, very visible to anyone sitting in the pilot's seat. And part of every pre-flight is to move all flight controls to full deflection to check for cable binding or damage.

He removed his own control locks but not the co pilot one that causes the crash for your information... The airplane was just out of repair and this is a normal procedure... Pilots ! Check up seriously your airpalne before flying of this will happens to you !

#3 probably forgot to take off the control locks....

Impressionante!!!!!

He exceeded the design limitations of the aircraft. I guess the load factor on the pull up exceeded the structural strength. This is a non aerobatic aircraft and was being operated far beyond what it was designed for. I guess the guy had plenty of time to think about that on the way down!

what happens with the first plane? Did his wings cut off cause he pulled too hard?
