# NTSB investigations: Beech E-55: Sys/Comp malf/fail (non-power)

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 ERA19FA201](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA19FA201.md): Beech E55 · Hope Mills, NC · Accident · 2 fatal · Class 2 · Field · Final report · Jun 27, 2019 · N664AR · Destroyed
  > The pilot's failure to disengage an uncommanded nose-down pitch input. Contributing to the accident was improper maintenance of the pitch trim servo, which would have precluded a physical override of the pitch servo.
- [NTSB CEN16LA336](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN16LA336.md): Beech E-55 · Wichita Falls, TX · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Aug 24, 2016 · N855T · Substantial damage
  > The failure of the landing gear assembly snap ring, which prevented the pilot from being able to extend the landing gear and resulted in a gear-up landing. Also causal was the lack of the assembly's overhaul in accordance with the airplane maintenance manual.
