Accident & incident history

2015-08-23 Accident · El Dorado, AR Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · CEN15FA374
Reported aircraft: Beechcraft 35 B33 — a different aircraft that carried the N9704Y registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined during postaccident examination of the accident site or based on the available information and the pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed and his exceedance of the airplane's critical angle-of-attack after the engine power loss, which led to an aerodynamic stall and loss of control.
