NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On June 12, 1994, about 1127 central daylight time, a Hruby Cayuse, N12057, registered to Maurice Farron, crashed at Stennis International Airport, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft was destroyed by a postcrash fire and the student-rated pilot received fatal injuries. The flight was originating at the time of the accident. Witnesses observed the aircraft taking off on runway 17. The engine was running rough and appeared to not be developing full power. The aircraft lifted off and climbed to treetop level before they lost sight of it. They diverted their attention from the aircraft and about 30 seconds later observed smoke near the departure end of the runway. One of the witnesses got in an aircraft and flew over the source of the smoke where he observed the wreckage of N12057. The pilot was out of the aircraft and crawling away from the wreckage. PERSONNEL INFORMATION The burned remains of the pilot's logbook was located in the aircraft wreckage. No information could be retrieved from this logbook. No other pilot logbooks were located after the accident. Federal Aviation Administration pilot medical records indicated that on June 12, 1993, the pilot applied for a third class medical and student pilot certificate. The pilot reported he had 1,100 total flight hours at that time and that he had flown 15 flight hours in the previous 6 months. For additional pilot information see the Pilot Information section in this report. AIR
