NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn September 5, 2022, at 1711 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 182P airplane, N58807, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Cleveland, Tennessee. The pilot and passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS-B) data revealed that the flight departed Arlington Municipal Airport (GKY), Arlington, Texas, about 1112 and arrived at Fletcher Field Airport (CKM), Clarksdale, Mississippi, about 1400. The accident flight departed CKM about 1448 on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan. The intended destination was Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), Asheville, North Carolina. The pilot proceeded eastbound on course toward AVL and climbed to 9,000 ft msl. At 1655, the air traffic controller advised the pilot of an area of weather about 10 miles ahead and suggested deviating left of course toward either Dayton or Athens, Tennessee, before proceeding on course. The pilot initially appeared to establish a course for Athens. However, the pilot then advised the controller that he planned to proceed to Collegedale and then direct to AVL. At 1706:23, the controller informed the pilot that he was entering an area of moderate to heavy precipitation and that it extended for about 20 miles. The controller approved deviating left or right of course. About three minutes later, the controller advised the pilot of heavy precipitation from the current position eastbound and suggested a northbound course before proceeding toward Athens an
Probable cause
The pilot’s loss of airplane control while operating in instrument meteorological conditions.
