NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On October 2, 2002, about 1540 eastern daylight time, a Beagle Aircraft B.206 Basset, N72KB, was destroyed after impacting terrain in West Carrollton, Ohio, after departing from the Moraine Airpark (I73), Moraine, Ohio. The certificated airline transport pilot was fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the ferry flight destined for the Easton Airport (ESN), Easton, Maryland. The flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. According to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, the pilot had applied for, and was granted, a ferry permit to fly the airplane to ESN the day of the accident. According to the operations manager of a fixed based operator at I73, the accident airplane arrived at the airport about the middle of April 2002, and was parked. The airplane remained at the airport until the day of the accident. The operations manager additionally stated that he did not observe the airplane fly at any time while at the airport. On the day of the accident, a mechanic was asked by the pilot to help him because he was having trouble starting the airplane. When the mechanic arrived at the airplane, he drained about 2-1/2 gallons of water from the center sump drain located under the main fuselage. After draining the water, the pilot successfully started the left engine, and subsequently shut it down. The airplane was then fueled at 1300, with 224.5 gallons of 100 low lead aviation gasoline. The mechanic added that he did not sump the airplane after it was fueled, nor did
Probable cause
The pilots inadequate preflight inspection, his operation of the airplane with an overdue annual inspection, and his failure to maintain airspeed after the failure of an engine which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin. A factor related to the accident was the contaminated fuel.
