What happened
During the cruise phase of flight, the aircraft experienced a sudden and severe pitch-down motion. This maneuver caused the plane to lose stability and enter an uncontrolled descent. The aircraft subsequently struck the ground within a cornfield situated in the vicinity of Hollywood.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. There were two fatalities among the crew, with no survivors reported from the flight.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the crash was precipitated by an in-flight structural failure. This failure led to a violent pitch-down movement, which was triggered by the irregular behavior of elevator tab controls that did not conform to standard operational requirements.
