NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On November 8, 2006, approximately 1245 mountain standard time, a Cessna 337C, N2500S, piloted by a commercial pilot, was destroyed when it departed runway 21 at Alamogordo-White Sands Regional Airport (ALM), Alamogordo, New Mexico, and collided with a hangar during its landing roll. Visual meteorological conditions (VMC) prevailed at the time of the accident. The personal flight was being conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan had been filed. The pilot, the sole occupant aboard, was fatally injured. The cross-country flight originated at Spinks Airport (FWS), Fort Worth, Texas at 1005 central standard time, and was en route to ALM. At 0747 central standard time, the pilot telephoned the Fort Worth Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) and requested a standard weather briefing for a proposed IFR flight from FWS to ALM. The pilot was advised that VMC prevailed along his route, and were forecast to remain the same. He was given the winds aloft forecast and current NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen). The pilot then filed an IFR flight plan, indicating the airplane was equipped with a 4096 code transponder with "/A" capability. His true airspeed would be 160 knots, and he would depart Fort Worth-Spinks at 1630 Zulu (1030 cst). His initial requested cruising altitude was 8,000 feet, and his route of flight would be "Kingdom Five, Millsap transition, to Millsap, then Victor 94 to Wink, then to Salt Flat, to Newman, and then Newman direct to Boles." Estimated time en route w
Probable cause
The pilot's incapacitation due to a heart attack while landing, which resulted in a loss of control and an on ground collision with objects.
