NTSB summary

On November 14, 2025, at 1708 eastern standard time, a Jabiru USA Sport Aircraft LLC J230-SP, N755J, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near New Bavaria, Ohio. The sport pilot and passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. A review of preliminary ADS-B data showed that the airplane departed Fulton County Airport (USE), Wauseon, Ohio, where the airplane was based about 1458. It then flew for about 2 hours around northwest Ohio at geometric altitudes between 3,100 ft mean sea level (msl) and 1,700 ft msl. At 1656 the airplane entered the accident area and began a descent from about 3,000 ft msl. It circled the accident area multiple times, descending to a minimum altitude of 103 ft above ground level (agl) at 1707:02. The airplane then began a climbing left turn which reached a maximum altitude of 428 ft agl at 1707:11. The left turn continued and the last data point, at 1707:17, showed the airplane at an altitude of 152 ft agl. A family member who lived across the street from the accident site reported that the pilot would often fly over their house at a low altitude and that family members would go outside to wave. On the day of the accident, a family member reported hearing the airplane fly overhead and going outside to wave. The airplane flew over the house at a low altitude and, after passing over the house, began a left turn to pass over the house again.
