From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

On 09/07/2019 at approximately 2037 PST, N24030, a Beechcraft C24R, single engine airplane, impacted terrain shortly after taking off from the Henderson executive airport in Henderson, Nevada.

Three of the occupants, including the pilot, were transported to a local burn trauma center where one of the passengers was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The other two persons were admitted with critical thermal injuries.

A fourth person, believed to be a passenger, was pronounced dead at the crash site.

A fifth person, not involved in the flight, was transported to, and treated at a local emergency room, for injuries they sustained while helping occupants out of the burning aircraft.

The aircraft appeared to have sustained substantial damage during the event and was destroyed by post crash fire.

The aircraft appeared to have impacted terrain in a very shallow angle,, based upon ground scars and marks. The aircraft initially impacted the median of an airport perimeter road and came to rest adjacent to the road in a large storm culvert.

Flight control continuity was established.

It appeared that the engine was running under power at the time of impact, based upon displayed damage to the three bladed metal propeller and marks found on the roadway at the crash scene.

Report to be amended.
