Flight Sequence
The airplane initially performed a series of touch-and-go landings during a local area flight. After the fourth landing, the pilot departed the airport.
Witness Observations
Witnesses observed the airplane maneuvering approximately 60 feet above the ground across a section of a golf course. Following these low-level maneuvers, the airplane was seen to momentarily gain altitude, then bank to the right at an estimated 80 degrees, and descend into a grove of trees.
Medical Examination
During the autopsy, the pathologist determined that the pilot exhibited evidence of significant coronary artery disease and of at least two past heart attacks.
