NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On November 6, 2006, at 1235 eastern standard time, an experimental Lancair Propjet, N750LC, registered to a private owner and operated by a private pilot, operating as a 14 Code of Federal Regulation Part 91 personal flight, lost engine power and collided with the ground while attempting a forced landing near Dalton, Georgia. The airplane was substantially damaged. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules flight plan was filed. The private pilot was fatally injured. The flight originated from the De Kalb Taylor Municipal Airport, De Kalb, Illinois, on November 6, 2006, at 0932. Review of communications between the pilot, and the Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) personnel, revealed that the pilot contacted ARTCC at 1156 and reported that he was at flight level 21,000 feet. At 1222, the pilot contacted ARTCC and reported that he "just lost his engine." ARTCC advised the pilot that there was an airport beneath him, cleared him for a left turn, and a descent to eleven thousand feet. ARTCC advised the pilot that DNN was about 6 to 7 miles to his south. At 1230, ARTCC contacted the pilot again and advised him that that DNN was at twelve o clock and 5 miles. Shortly thereafter the pilot contacted ARTCC and reported that he had the airport in sight but knew he would not make it there. Witnesses reported that the airplane was attempting to land on Georgia highway 52 (GA-52) when it made a "hard right bank." Shortly thereafter, the right wing collided with the ground. The Whitfield County Fire Department reported th
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during a forced landing, resulting in an inadvertent stall. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's mismanagement of the fuel supply, which resulted in loss of engine due to fuel starvation.
