NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On October 19, 2006, at 1545 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA-46-310P, N9130N, was destroyed when it impacted trees and terrain during an approach to landing at Tipton Airport (FME), Odenton, Maryland. The certificated commercial pilot/owner and the passenger were fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the flight, which departed Tipton Airport about 1541, and was destined for Brookeridge Airpark (LL22), Downers Grove, Illinois. The personal flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. According to information obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), at 1436, the pilot contacted the Altoona Automated Flight Service Station to file an IFR flight plan from Tipton Airport to Brookeridge Airpark. Upon filing the flight plan, the briefer asked the pilot, "Now, you are aware that you are departing an ADIZ [Air Defense Identification Zone], right?" The pilot responded in the affirmative. A review of recorded FAA radar and communication information revealed that a radar target, correlated to be the accident airplane, was observed at 1541 near the departure end of runway 28. At 1542, the pilot contacted the Potomac Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility. He stated that he had just departed Tipton Airport, and that he would like to obtain an IFR clearance to Brookeridge Airpark. The controller then asked the pilot if his transponder was "squawking" 1200, to which the pilot replied in the affirmative. The controller then informed the pilot that he was violati
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain adequate clearance from terrain during the approach. Contributing was the pilot's self-induced pressure to land the airplane after being informed by air traffic control that he was not operating in compliance with the ADIZ procedures.
