- [NTSB WPR18FA218](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR18FA218.md): Mooney M20K · Baker City, OR · Accident · 2 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Aug 11, 2018 · N231EC · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack during the landing approach as a result of his diversion of attention after a series of non-essential aircraft systems became inoperative following the failure of the engine-driven vacuum pump,…
- [NTSB SEA06FA038](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA06FA038.md): Mooney M20K · North Plains, OR · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Jan 5, 2006 · N27ER · Destroyed
  > The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed while maneuvering for a forced landing, resulting in a stall-spin and uncontrolled descent to ground impact. A contributing factor was the loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion resulting from the pilot's…
- [NTSB SEA05LA049](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA05LA049.md): Mooney M20K · Roseburg, OR · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Feb 16, 2005 · N1147D · Substantial damage
  > A fractured piston pin that resulted in a loss of engine power and subsequent forced landing. Factors include rough/uneven mountainous terrain.
- [NTSB SEA00FA039](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA00FA039.md): Mooney M20K · Pendleton, OR · Accident · 2 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Jan 24, 2000 · N251BD · Destroyed
  > The pilot's failure to adequately remove ice and snow from the airplane. A contributing factor was the pilot's inability to maintain control during climb due to degradation of the airplane's aerodynamic performance.
- [NTSB SEA98IA044](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA98IA044.md): Mooney M20K · Klamath Falls, OR · Incident · No injuries · Incident investigation · Final report · Mar 12, 1998 · N3556H · Minor damage
  > The pilot's inadequate preflight which failed to detect water contaminated fuel that subsequently led to fuel icing at altitude, blockage of fuel lines which resulted in fuel starvation. A related factor was the dark night conditions.
- [NTSB SEA94FA060](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA94FA060.md): Mooney M20K · Applegate, OR · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Feb 11, 1994 · N1093M · Substantial damage
  > Poor in-flight planning/decision and icing conditions. Factors to the accident were: selected flight into known adverse weather, dark night, and mountainous terrain.
- [NTSB SEA83FYM04](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA83FYM04.md): Mooney M20K · Dufur, OR · Accident · No injuries · Final report · Jan 24, 1983 · N97429 · Substantial damage
  > The aircraft collided with an irrigation pipe line and fence during rollout of a forced landing after engine failure. The engine stopped while the aircraft was cruising en route. The pilot remained in radio contact throughout the emergency and landed in a…
