NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On October 25, 2000, approximately 1945 central daylight time, a Cessna 210 single-engine airplane, N9485T, struck the terrain following a loss of control during the takeoff/initial climb from runway 17R at the Will Rogers World Airport (OKC), near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The airplane was owned and operated by ByGone Aviation, LLC, of Guymon, Oklahoma, under 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The instrument rated commercial pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, sustained fatal injuries, and the airplane was destroyed by impact forces and a post-impact fire. Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) prevailed for the planned cross-country flight to the Spearman Municipal Airport (E42) near Spearman, Texas, and an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the business flight. The flight was originating at the time of the accident. During personal interviews, conducted by the NTSB investigator-in-charge (IIC), with FAA inspectors, air traffic personnel, airport personnel, and witnesses, the following information was revealed. Earlier on the evening of the accident, the pilot flew the airplane during a CFR Part 135 cargo flight from Guymon, Oklahoma, to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. At 1905, the pilot obtained a weather briefing and filed an IFR flight plan to E42. At 1936:22, N9485T was cleared to E42 "as filed, climb and maintain 5,000, expect 8,000, 10 minutes after departure, on departure fly heading 200, departure frequency will be 124.6, squawk 6235." At 1937:06, the pilot verified that he had received ATIS information November [win
Probable cause
the pilot's loss of control of the aircraft during initial/takeoff climb. Contributing factors were the night conditions, low ceilings, and the pilot's lack of flight experience in actual instrument meteorological conditions at night.
