The purpose of the flight and the intended destination were not determined. Flight track data showed that the airplane landed at the airport a few hours before the accident flight began. On the accident takeoff, the airplane lifted off and began to climb, reaching an altitude of about 425 ft above ground level (agl), before it descended to about 275 ft agl while it turned slightly to the left. The airplane then began to climb and turned back to the right, reaching a peak altitude of about 450 ft agl before descending. The right turn continued to the end of the data and the airplane was about 230 ft agl when the final data point was recorded. The impact location was consistent with the recorded data and a nose-low, right-wing-low impact. A postimpact fire ensued and consumed a large portion of the airframe, which limited the examination of the airplane; however, no anomalies that would have contributed to the accident were found during the on-scene examination or during a post-recovery examination of the airplane’s engine. The flight path of the airplane suggested that the pilot may have been attempting to turn the airplane in order to land on the runway in the opposite direction, presumably due to a perceived emergency; however, examination of the airplane was unable to determine any defects that would have precipitated an emergency return. Therefore, the cause of the accident could not be determined.
