NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn April 13, 2019 about 1514 central daylight time, a Rockwell International NA-265-65 airplane, N265DS, impacted terrain near New Albany, Mississippi, following a reported electrical malfunction. The two commercial pilots and one passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was destroyed. The airplane was registered to Classic Aviation Inc. and operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Instrument meteorological conditions were reported at the accident site and along the route of flight about the time of the accident, and the flight was operated on an instrument flight rules flight plan. The flight originated from the University-Oxford Airport (UOX), Oxford, Mississippi, at 1506 and was destined for the Marion County-Rankin Fite Airport (HAB), Hamilton, Alabama. Air Traffic Control (ATC) audio and flight track recordings and recordings from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) recovered from the wreckage captured some portions of the accident flight. At 1501, the captain requested and received a clearance from the ATC controller to depart UOX and proceed to HAB. ATC provided a clearance. At 1506, the captain reported climbing through 1,300 ft mean sea level (msl). The controller subsequently notified the flight of moderate to severe precipitation in the area of UOX and provided a clearance to 11,000 ft msl. About 1508 the airplane's transponder stopped transmitting altitude information. The ATC controller queried the flight at that time for the airplane's altitude and indicated there was moderate to heavy precipitation along th
Probable cause
An unidentified electrical system malfunction that led to the pilots losing awareness of the airplane's performance in instrument meteorological conditions and resulted in a loss of control of the airplane.
