NTSB summary
On June 28, 2025, about 0934 central daylight time, a Vans RV-10 airplane, N847CS, was substantially damaged during an accident near Capron, Illinois. The pilot and flight instructor were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 instructional flight. The purpose of the flight was for the pilot to complete a flight review with the flight instructor. According to automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) flight data, at 0909:06, the airplane departed runway 23 at Waukegan National Airport (UGN), Waukegan, Illinois. After takeoff, the airplane flew to the west and climbed to about 3,300 ft mean sea level (msl) where the flight track was consistent with maneuvers that are often associated with flight reviews. After the maneuvers, the airplane continued flying to the west until 0931:53, when it entered a right descending turn from about 3,000 ft msl. The airplane completed two 360° turns, over a period of 1 minute 40 seconds, as it continued to descend. Beginning at 0933:33, the airplane briefly flew northwest about 0.3 nautical miles (nm) while it continued to descend. About 13 seconds later, the airplane flew over Capron Road, a north-south road, about 590 ft above ground level (agl) before it entered a right turn to the east and continued to descend. At 0934:03, the airplane crossed over Capron Road for a second time, on an east heading. As of the final ADS-B data return at 0934:05, the airplane was about 315 ft agl and 154 ft west of the accident site. Preliminary aircraft performance calculations indicated t
