Accident & incident history

2005-05-20 Accident · Caliente, CA Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · LAX05FA184
Reported aircraft: Bellanca 14-13-3 — a different aircraft that carried the N6511N registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's inadvertent encounter with instrument meteorological conditions and failure to maintain adequate terrain clearance, which resulted in controlled flight into the terrain. Contributing factors were the pilots' delayed decision to reverse course, the low clouds which obscured the rising terrain.
