Preliminary Reports

King Air Destroyed in Uncontrolled Descent

Beech B200GT, March 22, 2026, Sharps, Louisiana

The solo pilot was killed when the twin--engine turboprop crashed into a swamp following an uncontrolled descent from FL280. The final ADS-B position fix showed the airplane banked 66 degrees to the right in a 46.1-degree nose-down attitude; its final descent rate ranged from 32,000 to 45,000 fpm. Excavation of the accident site's 15-foot-deep impact crater failed to recover either engine or any “portion of the cockpit, cockpit flight controls, or instrument panel.”
