NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On November 5, 2004, approximately 1200 central standard time, a Piper PA30-160 twin-engine airplane, N7415Y, was substantially damaged when it impacted terrain while maneuvering following a go-around and subsequent loss of control near the Boise City Municipal Airport (17K) near Boise City, Oklahoma. The commercial pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, was fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for the personal flight that was conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The ferry flight originated from the Ernest A. Love Field Airport (PRC) near Prescott, Arizona, approximately 0900 central standard time, with 17K as its intended destination. In a written report, a witness stated that he observed the airplane approaching the airport from the southwest and entering a right downwind for runway 22. The airplane appeared to have made a stabilized approach, and it nearly touched down before initiating a go-around approximately 40 feet above the ground. The airplane then climbed to the north, circled the airport, and made another low pass over the runway. The airplane then climbed out to the north once again, and the witness lost sight of the airplane. A second witness reported a similar sequence of events and added that the engines were running smoothly when the airplane made passes over the runway. The witness also reported that the sky was clear. According to fuel receipts obtained from the wreckage, the airplane was last fueled on the date of the accident at PRC with 27.2 gallons of 100-octan
Probable cause
The pilot's incapacitation (cardiovascular) resulting in a loss of aircraft control.
