NTSB summary
On November 19, 2020, about 1709 Pacific standard time (PST), a Blevins Kamron Odyssey, N562TB, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Arlington, Washington. The pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. ADS-B radar data indicated that the airplane departed Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW), Tacoma, Washington, about 1556, and turned westbound followed by a turn and a north-northeast track for about 50 nm until it reached an area near Lake Cavanaugh where track data discontinued briefly. After track data were reacquired, they showed the airplane in a tight 360° right turn, then it continued southwest for about 5 nm before turning to the west and then north. The airplane then entered a right spiral type turn until track data were lost at 1709. During a postaccident examination of the engine, both cylinders were removed and examined internally. A normal amount of combustion deposits was observed within the combustion dome of each cylinder and piston face. All the intake and exhaust valves were unremarkable. The top and bottom spark plugs were automotive type spark plugs; they were removed and exhibited normal operational signatures. The carburetor was separated from the engine and exhibited impact damage to the top of the diaphragm cover. The carburetor float bowl was free of debris and found unremarkable. The throttle lever was intact, undamaged, and moved freely from stop to stop. The electric fuel pump was tested by connecting it to a battery. The fuel pump emitted a mechanical noise a
Probable cause
The pilot’s loss of airplane control for reasons that could be determined based on available evidence.
