Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The airplane was found wrecked on an airport taxiway when airport personnel reported for duty in the morning. It had been stolen from the blue horizon flying club at the airport and, according to the hobbs meter, had been operated for about 0.4 hours since the last reading recorded by the club. The person or persons responsible for the operation and accident had not been found as of may 17, 1989. The flap setting, the position of the airplane on the airport and the hobbs reading would all suggest that the accident occurred during an attempted landing. Injury index presumed.
