NTSB summary

HISTORY OF FLIGHT On September 9, 2012, at 1152 central daylight time, a Beech A36, N3224G, was substantially damaged when it impacted terrain near Kansasville, Wisconsin. The pilot was fatally injured. The aircraft was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which was operated on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan. The flight originated from Chicago Executive Airport (KPWK), Wheeling, Illinois, at 1136, with an intended destination of Lakeland Airport (KARV), Minocqua, Wisconsin. At 0857, the pilot contacted flight service. He obtained a weather briefing and filed an IFR flight plan for the route from KPWK, direct to the Badger (BAE) VHF Omni-Range (VOR) navigation station, and direct to KARV. At 1137, the pilot contacted Chicago Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) after takeoff from KPWK. Air traffic control (ATC) radar track data indicated that the initial data point was recorded at 1137:05 (hhmm:ss) and was located about 0.75 nautical miles (nm) north-northwest of the departure end of runway 34. The altitude associated with that data point was 900 feet msl. The controller subsequently cleared the flight to climb to 4,000 feet msl and then 6,000 feet msl as it proceeded north-northwest bound. Communications were routine and track data depicted the airplane remaining on course and climbing to the assigned altitudes as cleared. At 1146, control of the flight was transferred to Milwaukee TRACON. The pilot established

Probable cause

In-flight loss of control for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the pilot and testing of the airplane did not reveal any anomalies that would have led to the loss of control.
