NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn June 6, 2022, at 1522 central daylight time, a Cessna 182G airplane, N2118R, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Kenedy, Texas. The pilot and passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Recorded ADS-B data revealed that the flight departed the New Braunfels National Airport (BAZ), at 1452 and proceeded southbound toward Kenedy Regional Airport (2R9), Kenedy, Texas. The airplane briefly reached an altitude of 6,300 ft mean sea level (msl) before descending to 5,600 ft msl. About 1508, when the airplane was about 23 miles north of 2R9, the airplane entered a gradual descent that continued until the final ADS-B data point. About 1516, the pilot appeared to alter course slightly to align with the extended centerline of runway 16 at 2R9. About 3 seconds before the final data point, the flight track depicted the airplane entering a gradual left turn. The final data point was recorded at 1522:15. At that time, the airplane altitude was about 641 ft msl. A pilot approaching 2R9 noted that the accident pilot reported on a straight-in approach for runway 16 on the common traffic advisory frequency. When he initially observed the accident airplane, it appeared to be straight-and-level and established on an extended final approach. However, when he saw the airplane a short time later, it appeared to be about 30 feet above ground level and descending in a spin. Surveillance video footage from a local establishment located about 0.2 miles west-southwest of the accident
Probable cause
A loss of airplane control on final approach for reasons that could not be determined.
