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 acft crashed during a night x-country flt. Ground witnesses who saw the flash from the ground impact stated that there was a thunderstorm in the area at the time of the accident. They also stated that they had difficulty in locating the wreckage due to reduced visability resulting from heavy rain and fog in the area. The acft was destroyed by impact forces and post crash fire. A pathological examination of the plt did not disclose any evidence of a pre-impact condition that would have detracted from his ability to operate the acft. However, toxicological tests did reveal the presence of chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine. A prescription drug, ornade 100, was found in the wreckage.
