## Narrative

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

WHILE ENROUTE TO WILEY POST AIRPORT (KPWA), PILOT STATED TO FORT WORTH CENTER THAT HE WAS HAVING LANDING GEAR EXTENSION PROBLEMS. FORT WORTH CENTER INSTRUCTED PILOT TO CLIMB AND MAINTAIN 3000' ALTITUDE. SHORTLY AFTER CLIMBING TO 3000' THE AIRCRAFT CLIMBED TO 3300' AND ABRUPTLY DECENDED VERTICALY INTO THE GROUND. WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED AND THE WRECKAGE WAS LARGELY CONSUMED BY POST CRASH FIRE, CONTINUITY OF MAJOR CONTROL SURFACES WAS OBSERVED, AND LANDING GEAR CONTROL BOX INDICATED THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS IN THE RETRACT POSITION.
