Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot departed under visual flight rules. There was no known weather briefing obtained by the pilot, flight plan filed, or communications with the airplane after departure, which disappeared from radar about 30 minutes after takeoff. Visual metrological conditions prevailed at the time of the takeoff; however, instrument meteorological conditions were present at an airport about 5 miles northeast of the airplane's last recorded radar position. Neither the pilot nor airplane were located. The pilot held an instrument rating and reported 2,900 hours of total flight experience on his most recent application for an FAA medical certificate, which was issued about a year prior to the accident.
