What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
N88855 a Beech bonanza A-36 departed on an IFR flight from San Marcos airport destined for odesa, Texas. The aircraft was provided an IFR release from khyi from austin TRACON, with a clearance to enter the khyi class d airspace on a heading of 080 and up to an altitude of 3000 feet with a void if not airborne in five minutes. The aircraft did not check in within the clearance time and austin TRACON reported the aircraft overdue and notified local authorities. The aircraft wreckage was found at the San Marcos alerrt area training center, a facility located within the San Marcos airport property on the north eastern side of the airport. The wreckage was located inside the southernmost used shotgun training berm and found in a near vertical nose down impact on a heading of 090. Eighteen minutes of recorded ADS-B data was retrieved displaying the aircraft at the parking spot, taxi and takeoff from runway 8. Total flight time was approximately 45 seconds from 11:53:39 zulu to 11:54:24 zulu. From 11:54:07 and 11:54:20, the ADS-B data displays the aircraft altitude increasing and airspeed decreasing by an approximate gain of 800 feet (13 seconds time), which results in an approximate 3,700 foot per minute climb. The last adsb flight data at 11:54:24 zulu was recorded directly above the location of the wreckage that was found in the alerrt training facility. The FAA ASI iic attended and assisted with the wreckage recovery and inspection with the NTSB, Textron and Continental representatives. There was no evidence found of any pre impact damage or failure of the aircraft, engine or components.
