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 acdt occurred during an IFR, non-precision approach to the uncontrolled jabara airport. When the flt was one mile from the faf, ATC told the flt that in the event of a missedapproach N3864P should enter controlled airspace heading 360 deg. The controller observed the radar data representing the flt cross the faf on a westerly heading iaw the published procedure. A short time later the controller saw the return north of the approach path tracking to the north and then saw the return disappear. Examination of the acdt site revealed that N3864P collided with trees on a northerly heading 4 mi north of the approach path. The wreckage of N3864P was scattered along a path 580 ft long. The surviving said there was no warning before the acdt of an impending crash.
