NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On February 20, 1994, at 1045 central standard time, a Beech A36, N58325, impacted terrain while maneuvering after the second VOR approach to Runway 23 at Grain Valley, Missouri. The aircraft was destroyed when it impacted terrain 1/2 mile northwest of the approach end of Runway 09 at Grain Valley. The instrument rated private pilot and four passengers were fatally injured. One passenger received serious injuries. Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) prevailed for the flight, and an instrument flight plan was filed. The personal flight operated under 14 CFR Part 91, and originated from Hannibal, Missouri at 0914. The airplane owner stated he arranged the flight as a favor to a friend. The friend was going to be in the East Kansas City area investigating a job opportunity, and wanted his wife and four children flown out to join him. The airplane owner stated since he would be on vacation the day of the proposed trip, he arranged for a non-instrument rated pilot/friend to make the flight, with a back-up instrument rated pilot available in case of inclement weather. The airplane owner stated "[the non-instrument rated pilot] called weather early AM...to find out it was IFR conditions...called [the instrument rated pilot] to tell him...helped board everyone." The airplane departed its home base of Hannibal at 0914. Air Traffic Control (ATC) records indicate the flight was routine until it reached the East Kansas City area. The pilot contacted Kansas City Approach Control at 1018. The Approach Controller issued weather information for the nearest reportin
Probable cause
THE INSTRUMENT RATED PRIVATE PILOT'S INADVERTENT STALL WHILE CIRCLING TO LAND. THE WEATHER WAS A FACTOR.
