NTSB summary
On October 13, 2024, about 2230 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 336, N336LV, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Savannah, Georgia. The commercial pilot was fatally injured, and a pilot-rated passenger sustained minor injuries. The flight was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Radar data indicated that the flight departed Miami Executive Airport (TMB), Miami, Florida enroute to Savannah International Airport (SAV), Savannah, Georgia. According to air traffic control (ATC) communication information provided by the Federal Aviation Administration, the pilot contacted ATC while flying at an altitude of 7,000 feet, and stated that he was inbound to SAV and had obtained the current weather conditions there. The pilot was cleared to descend to 2,000 feet for an approach to runway 28 at SAV. Shortly thereafter, the pilot requested a direct approach due to fuel concerns, which ATC approved. The pilot subsequently reported a loss of engine power, declared an emergency, and later advised ATC that both engines had lost power. ATC provided the pilot with radar vectors to Hunter Army Airfield (SVN), Savannah, Georgia, which was located about 3 miles from the airplane's position at that time. The pilot acknowledged these instructions, reported seeing the airport’s runway lights, but expressed concern about reaching the runway. The final transmission from the pilot indicated that he would not be able to reach the runway. The airplane subsequently impacted terrain in a residential area about 2 nautical miles northeast of SVN. All
