The impact site was located about 640 yards southeast of the departure end of runway 20.The initial impact point consisted of multiple ground scars; divots consistent with the main landing gear, empennage, and wings could be seen. The airplane appeared to be in a flat, near wings levels attitude at impact. The tail section of the airplane and right main landing gear fractured and remained at the impact point. The main wreckage continued 24 yards east and the nose of the airplane came to rest facing northeast. A postimpact fire ensued that consumed a majority of the wreckage.
Examination of the airplane found all major components located at the accident site. Preimpact flight control continuity appeared continuous. The flaps were found in the retracted position and the landing gear was found extended. Cockpit instrumentation was fire damaged and did not contain useful readings. No non-volatile memory devices were located for download.
The airplane was retained for further examination.
