NTSB summary
On June 17, 2024, at 0816 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA-31-310, Canadian registration C-GKSI, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident in Loudonville, New York. The airline transport pilot was fatally injured and one person on the ground sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 positioning flight.
