NTSB summary
On November 24, 2025, about 1713 central standard time (CST), a Socata TBM 700 airplane, N700PT, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Monroe, Wisconsin. The pilot and pilot-rated passenger sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight. The airplane departed about 1641 CST from Oshkosh Wittman Regional Airport (OSH) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. At 1704, according to an Air Traffic Control (ATC) communication recording, the airplane was cleared for the RNAV 12 approach at the Monroe Municipal Airport (EFT), Monroe, Wisconsin. At the time of the approach clearance, the 1655 automated weather observation at EFT reported wind from 180° at 6 knots, fog, ¼ statute mile visibility, overcast ceiling at 300 ft above ground level (AGL), and a temperature dewpoint spread of 0 degrees. The RNAV 12 approach Category A landing weather minimums were 400 ft AGL ceiling and 1 statue mile visibility. The pilot told ATC before the approach clearance that “if we can get in there it will be a full stop, if not we will go missed [approach] back to Oshkosh”. ATC gave the pilot an amended missed approach instructions of runway heading and 4,000 ft mean sea level (MSL). Prior to the pilot’s departure from OSH, the weather at EFT had been below the RNAV 12 landing minimums since 1215. A witness at the airport reported that he heard the airplane increase engine power for a missed approach and he began searching for it in the fog. Shortly after the power up, he witnessed a bright orange glow and heard a loud explo
