NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On August 15, 1998, at 0738 eastern daylight time, a Beech A-36, N8EM, was destroyed when it collided with terrain in Amelia, Ohio, during a missed approach from the Clermont County Airport (I69), Batavia, Ohio. The certificated private pilot was fatally injured. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal flight that originated at Hamilton, Ohio (HAO), at 0718, destined for I69. An instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. The purpose of the flight was to attend an American Bonanza Society (ABS) clinic at I69. In a telephone interview, the manager of the Clermont County Airport stated that ABS and Continental Teledyne provided thorough airplane inspections at very low cost. He said, "For 120 dollars, they get a 500 dollar inspection." The airport manager said the accident pilot had an appointment for 0730 at the clinic. A review of Air Traffic Control (ATC) records revealed the pilot filed his IFR flight plan by telephone with the Dayton, Ohio, Flight Service Station (FSS), at 0707. There was no record that the pilot received a weather briefing prior to departure from HAO. The pilot received his IFR clearance over the aircraft's radio at 0718, from the Cincinnati Approach Control. The controller advised him that runway and weather information for the destination airport was unavailable. A review of ATC voice communication tapes revealed the pilot requested the NDB runway 22 approach at I69. The pilot further requested the VOR approach if he was unable to complete the landing afte
Probable cause
the pilot's loss of control in flight due to spatial disorientation. A related factor was the fog.
