NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On April 19, 1995, about 0700 central daylight time, a Cessna T337G, N4KP, operated by Kansas Paint & Color Company, Wichita, Kansas, crashed on takeoff from the Coffeyville Municipal Airport, Coffeyville, Kansas. The airplane was destroyed. The airline transport certificated pilot and the two passengers aboard the airplane were fatally injured. The flight was an "Angel Flight", to transport a cancer patient to Houston, Texas for treatment. His wife was accompanying him. The flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. An IFR flight plan was filed, and visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. One witness to the accident, in a personal interview, reported that the pilot landed and spent about five minutes on the ground onloading the two passengers. He noted that the pilot had a difficult time starting the number one engine. The witness believed the engine was flooded. He observed the number two engine start and reported that it started immediately. He reported that he could not tell if the pilot ran up both engines. He observed the airplane during the takeoff roll and indicated that the airplane was still on the ground at a speed similar to a "fast taxi" as it passed the 3,000 foot point on the runway. The wings rocked during the initial climb and the airplane barely cleared the first row of trees. He reported that he believed both engines were running. He did not see a stopped propeller and could not discern the flap position. He thought the airplane was going to impact the second row of trees and the pilot initiated a turn to the left. During
Probable cause
the pilot's failure to abort the takeoff during an excessive takeoff roll. Factors were the loss of power on the number two engine which occurred for an undetermined reason, the pilot's disregard of the takeoff checklist, and the 25 degree flap setting.
