What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 12/6/2023 at 10:44 am, a Remos departing from Taylor crashed on takeoff, landing inverted halfway down the runway and seriously injuring the pilot. Photos from the scene show evidence of frost on the airframe, which was corroborated by a witness who did not witness the crash, but saw the a/c taxi with frost "all over the place". The temperature data at the time of the crash was reported -3 celsius.
A post-crash examination did not reveal evidence of any system or flight control failure which would have contributed to the accident.
