## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

INDICATIONS SHOWED AIRCRAFT HEADING AT 200 DEGREES, PRODUCING POWER, ENTERING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 DEGREE NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE, LEFT WING LOW BANK ANGLE AND AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED UPON IMPACT. AIRCRAFT HAD FUEL ON BOARD AS INDICATED BY FIRE WHICH DESTROYED THE COCKPIT, FUSELAGE, WINGS, LANDING GEAR, INSTRUMENTS AND RADIOS. THE EMPENNAGE WAS SEPARATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT APPROXIMATELY 6 FEET FROM THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE AIRCRAFT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER FORWARD COMING TO REST 8 FEET AFT OF THE REST OF THE FUSELAGE. THE AIRCRAFT'S ABRUPT IMPACT INTO TREES CAUSED THE ENGINE AND PROPELLER TO SEPARATE FROM THE AIRCRAFT, LANDING APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET FURTHER AHEAD IN THE LINE OF FLIGHT. WITH WHAT REMAINED OF THE AIRCRAFT, THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF ABNORMAL MECHANICAL ISSUES NOTED.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
