NTSB summary
On December 23, 2025, about 0841 Pacific standard time, a Beech K35, N9540R, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Summer Lake, Oregon. The pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was being operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. According to preliminary ADS-B flight track data, the airplane departed Susanville Municipal Airport (SVE), Susanville, California about 0730 and flew northwest. About 0752, the pilot requested visual flight rules (VFR) flight following to McNary Field (SLE), Salem, Oregon, with Seattle Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). About 0759, the airplane was at an altitude of about 10,600 mean sea level (msl) and turned toward the west-northwest, and the pilot reported to the controller that he was turning due to clouds. The controller subsequently relayed a weather report and pilot report (PIREP) for light rime icing near the accident pilot’s location. The data showed that the airplane continued on a west-northwest heading for about 9 minutes and climbed to about 12,170 ft msl, before it began a left 250° turn to the northeast. The controller subsequently relayed another PIREP to the pilot for light rime icing in the area. ADS-B data showed that the airplane continued on a northeasterly heading, at altitudes that varied between 11,370 ft msl and 12,500 ft msl for about 19 minutes. About 0827, the airplane began a left turn to the northwest and climbed to about 12,800 ft msl. About 3 minutes later, the airplane turned right, to the north-northeast and climbed to about 13,100 ft msl. At
