Reported aircraft: Cessna 172N
Probable cause: The local controller s poor judgment in prioritization of their ground traffic ahead of their airborne traffic, that became a distraction and led to a loss of situational awareness resulting in a near midair collision. Contributing to the incident was the controller in charge s ineffective oversight.
2010-02-14 Accident · Genoa City, WI Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · CEN10LA123
Reported aircraft: Cessna 172N
Probable cause: A total loss of engine power due to the failure of the bolts that held in place the connecting rods to the engine's No. 3 and No. 4 cylinders as a result of the engine overhaul facility's improper installation of the bolts during a recent overhaul.
