NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On July 25, 1993, at 1750 Pacific daylight time, a Beech F33A, N3022W, was destroyed by terrain impact during a descent 20 miles north of Baker, California. The aircraft was owned and operated by the American Aeronautical Foundation and was on a personal cross-country flight under 14 CFR Part 91 of Federal Aviation Regulations. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the operation. The certificated commercial pilot and his two passengers sustained fatal injuries. The flight originated from the Roosevelt, Utah, municipal airport on the day of the accident as a nonstop flight to Camarillo, California. The pilot picked up the aircraft at Santa Monica airport at approximately 1200 hours on July 22 and flew to Camarillo airport to pick up his wife and youngest daughter for a continued flight to Roosevelt, Utah. There were no reported communication difficulties with either the Santa Monica or Camarillo towers. Before departing on the return flight from Roosevelt at approximately 1400 on July 25, the pilot called the Camarillo tower by telephone to advise them of his planned arrival at 1900. At that time, he also advised them that he might have a problem transmitting on his communications radios. At approximately 1530, the pilot along with his wife and daughter took off from Roosevelt Municipal airport. Before takeoff, the fixed base operator (FBO) on the field reported that the aircraft was refueled with 53 gallons of 100LL octane avgas. The manufacturer reported that the aircraft had an 80-gallon fuel capacity wit
