NTSB summary
On June 26, 2021, at 2039 mountain daylight time, a Searey LSX airplane, N62EF, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Logan, Utah. The pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. According to the pilot’s son (who was also a pilot), he and his father had recently purchased the airplane. The day before the accident, they flew to Paine Field, Everette, Washington to pick up the airplane, and flew it back to Logan Airport (LGU), Logan, Utah. The pilot’s son also stated the airplane was a relatively docile airplane and indicated that it did not have the performance that their “Husky” airplane had. The airplane burned about 5 gallons of fuel per hour, and they landed at LGU with about 11 gallons of fuel remaining. The pilot’s son was unsure if the accident pilot added fuel before the accident flight. On the day of the accident, the pilot’s son spoke to the pilot and invited him to overfly a house where he would be with friends having a barbeque. The pilot’s son witnessed the airplane approach the house from the south and recalled the airplane was low, about 500 to 700 ft above ground level (agl) and flying about 40 knots groundspeed. The pilot waved as he flew past, and then turned the airplane to the right, which was toward rising terrain. The witness noted that the turn was “tight...like how the pilot would fly his Husky airplane.” As the airplane was turning, the right wing dropped. The wings then leveled, followed by the left wing dropping. The witness observed the wings level again,
Probable cause
The pilot’s loss of airplane control while maneuvering at a low altitude, which resulted in a collision with a house.
