NTSB summary
On October 24, 2025 at 2115 mountain daylight time, a Cirrus SR22T, N740TS, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Lincoln, Montana. The pilot sustained fatal injuries.

They briefed the flight together and reviewed the weather. The brother monitored the airplane with live flight tracking data online and arrived at the airport about 2120, observing the runway lights were illuminated, but the airplane was not at the airport. A video camera located in the town of Lincoln captured footage of the airplane’s lights in its last minute of the flight. The airplane’s recoverable data module (RDM) was recovered from the accident site and preliminary information was downloaded. A review of the data revealed that the airplane departed from the pilot’s home base in Spokane, Washington about 2010. The airplane continued on a direct route southeast to Lincoln at an altitude of 9,700 ft mean sea level (msl). About an hour after departure, the airplane was 17 nm from S69 and the autopilot mo
