Beech King Air B90, San Jon, N.M., May 14, 2001–The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the accident was the pilot’s failure to maintain aircraft control due to his incapacitation for an undetermined reason. A contributing factor was the subsequent inadvertent stall/spin to the ground.

At 11:22 p.m. MDT King Air N221CH was destroyed when the pilot lost control in cruise flight and the aircraft subsequently spun to the ground near San Jon. The sole-occupant ATP-rated pilot was killed. The airplane was being operated by CMH Investments of Benton, Ark. on a Part 91 positioning flight from Tucson, Ariz., to Springdale, Ark., and was on an IFR flight plan operating in night VMC.
