Aircraft involved
Factual narrative
THE ACFT CRASHED IN A FIELD ABOUT 8 MILES AFTER A NIGHT TAKEOFF IN IMC WEATHER. NO FLT PLAN WAS FILED. THE PILOT HAD RECEIVED SEVERAL BRIEFINGS. DURING HIS FINAL BRIEFING THE POSSIBILITY OF ICING WAS DISCUSSED. THE TAKEOFF TIME WAS ABOUT2030 HRS. THE NASHVILLE WEATHER OBSERVATION AT 2026 REPORT A CEILING OF 300 FT AND VISIBILITY OF 2 MILES IN SNOW AND FOG. RESIDENTS IN THE AREA REPORTED THAT FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW WERE FALLING WHEN THE CRASH WAS HEARD. THE ACFT WAS DESTROYED IN THE CRASH AND THE PILOT WAS FATALLY INJURED. THE PILOT WAS NOT INSTRUMENT RATED. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
