# NTSB investigations: Beech V35A: Loss of control in flight

NTSB aviation accident and incident investigations since 1962: the probable cause, findings, aircraft, crew, weather and docket of each, linked to the FAA registry and the FAA’s own reports.

## Latest cases

- [NTSB ERA23LA253](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA23LA253.md): Beech V35A · Statesboro, GA · Accident · Minor injuries · Class 3 · Limited · Final report · Jun 1, 2023 · N8074R · Substantial damage
  > Maintenance personnel’s improper installation of the pitch servo bridle cable clamp, which led to binding in the elevator control system that restricted aft yoke movement during the landing approach.
- [NTSB ERA21LA068](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA21LA068.md): Beech V35A · Attalla, AL · Accident · 1 fatal · Class 3 · Limited · Final report · Dec 12, 2020 · N5470U · Destroyed
  > A loss of control inflight and the failure of a component of the up elevator flight control system due to fatigue, which rendered recovery from a right descending turn improbable.
- [NTSB CEN21FA025](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN21FA025.md): Beech V35 · Slidell, LA · Accident · 1 fatal · Class 3 · Field · Final report · Oct 21, 2020 · N35DC · Destroyed
  > The pilot’s loss of control shortly after departure for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
- [NTSB CEN15FA081](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN15FA081.md): Beech V35A · Seagoville, TX · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Dec 19, 2014 · N555SF · Destroyed
  > The pilot’s loss of control and subsequent impact with terrain in instrument meteorological conditions.
- [NTSB WPR14CA110](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR14CA110.md): Beech V35A · Globe, AZ · Accident · Minor injuries · Data collection · Final report · Feb 1, 2014 · N31TC · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's inadequate glide path and failure to maintain adequate airspeed during final approach, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
- [NTSB WPR13FA086](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR13FA086.md): Beech V35A · Woody, CA · Accident · 2 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Jan 7, 2013 · N35SD · Destroyed
