NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On July 28, 1995, at 1747 hours Pacific daylight time, a Rockwell International 112TC, N4569W, collided with utility poles and wires while on a go-around at Whiteman Airport, Los Angeles, California. The aircraft was destroyed and the private pilot and his passenger sustained fatal injuries. The aircraft was being operated as a personal flight by the owner when the accident occurred. The flight originated in Carlsbad, California, about 1630 on the day of the accident. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan had been filed. The tower operator at Whiteman Airport reported that the pilot made his initial call reporting his position over the Van Nuys airport. The tower operator told the pilot to enter a right base for runway 12 and report passing the I-5 freeway. The pilot reported passing the interchange, but said he did not have the airport in sight. He asked the tower operator if he could direct him to it. The tower operator told the pilot that he had him in sight and would direct him to the airport. He then asked the pilot if he could see the four smoke stacks to the south. The pilot said no, but that he saw a lake. He told the pilot to turn right and look out his right window. At that point, the pilot said he still did not have the stacks in sight, then corrected himself saying that he had it. The tower operator told him to look northwest of the stacks and that he would be reaching a set of railroad tracks in about a mile. He told the pilot to follow those tracks and they would lead him to the airport. Several seconds lat
Probable cause
an undetermined aircraft system malfunction, and the pilot's delayed remedial action in response to insufficient braking action and/or inability to control engine power.
