NTSB summary
On October 16, 2025, about 1728 eastern standard time, a Raytheon Hawker 800XP airplane, Mexican registration XA-JMR, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Bath Township, Michigan. The captain, co-pilot, and passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 local area post-maintenance flight. The airplane, which was owned and operated by Aerolineas del Centro, arrived at Duncan Aviation’s maintenance facility at Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field (BTL), Battle Creek, Michigan for routine maintenance in March 2025. According to Duncan Aviation maintenance personnel, multiple routine inspections were completed on the airplane over seven months. One inspection included the removal of the wing leading edges and TKS ice protection panels for a visual inspection for cracks and signs of corrosion. Per the manufacturer, after the leading edge inspection, a post-maintenance stall test flight is required before the airplane can be returned to service. According to preliminary automatic dependent system broadcast (ADS-B) data, the airplane departed BTL at 1708 and entered a left climbing turn and proceeded to an area about 9 miles northeast of BTL. The flight crew asked air traffic control (ATC) for a block altitude from FL140 to FL160, and ATC approved the request. The airplane leveled off at FL150. At 1727 the airplane began a rapid descent from FL140, during which time there was an indiscernible transmission from the accident airplane, ATC responded “XA-JMR Cleveland.” The flight crew responded,
