NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn April 24, 2016, about 1815 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 182L airplane, N42411, was substantially damaged during an in-flight collision with trees and terrain near Carrollton, Ohio. The pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which was not operated on a flight plan. The flight originated from the Carroll County – Tolson Airport (TSO), Carrollton, Ohio, about 1800. The intended destination was the Salem Airpark (38D), Salem, Ohio. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) air traffic control radar data depicted an aircraft about 0.5 mile northwest of TSO at 1801:58. The aircraft proceeded on a northeasterly course in the general direction of 38D, climbing to approximately 3,250 ft mean sea level (msl) and reaching a ground speed of about 140 knots. The ground speed began to decrease and the aircraft turned to the southeast. During this time, the groundspeed and altitude gradually decreased to about 70 knots and 1,700 ft msl, respectively. The radar data then indicated a turn to the northwest, followed by a turn to the southwest. During this time, the groundspeed and altitude increased to about 95 knots and 2,000 ft msl, respectively. The aircraft subsequently turned to northeast, approximately reversing course. The groundspeed and altitude increased during this segment to about 108 knots and 2,500 ft msl, respectively. The radar data then indicated a gradual desc
Probable cause
