Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane was destroyed by fire after an emergency landing due to an in-flight fire. The pilot said that after taking off and executing a left hand traffic pattern departure, he noticed smoke emanating from the left side of the instrument panel. An emergency landing was executed and the airplane rolled to a stop on the grass adjacent to the runway. The airplane was consumed by the fire after the pilot had exited the airplane. Postaccident examination of the airplane failed to reveal evidence of the original source of the fire.
