Accident Summary
During a flight conducted at low altitude beneath power lines, the aircraft collided with the ground. The pilot later stated that he could not recall the events leading up to the accident. Examination of the accident site indicated that the aircraft impacted the ground in a level attitude and struck a low berm.
Investigation Findings
Investigators examined the aircraft and found no defects in the flight controls or the engine. The airframe and powerplant appeared to have been functioning normally at the time of impact. The specific cause of the loss of control or the reason for the low-level operation could not be determined from the available evidence.
Background Information
A relative of the passenger reported that he had previously observed the pilot performing low passes, or "buzzing," over his house. However, the source does not specify whether such behavior occurred on the day of the accident or whether it contributed to the event. No further details about the flight, the aircraft, or the individuals involved are provided in the investigation source.
