MyGoFlight CEO Reported Dead In Cirrus SR22 Crash

Aircraft Reported Down Near Large Amazon Building, Under Construction, In Knoxville

A Cirrus SR22 is reported to have gone down in Knoxville, TN, with two persons on board. One person has been identified by his company, as Charlie Schneider, CEO of MyGoFlight, an aviation accessory manufacturer.

The accident took place in the morning, about 0920 local time, on Thursday, December 16th near the McGhee Tyson Airport. The MyGoFlight Facebook page has reported that, "Charlie was traveling for business on a single-engine craft, Cirrus SR22. At this time, the cause of the accident is unknown. Charlie died this morning at UT Medical Center in Nashville, TN. During this time of loss, the family is asking for privacy. Please keep his family in your prayers."

The FAA released a statement confirming two souls on board, and the local Alcoa Police say that both were taken to UT Medical Center following the crash. The condition and ID of the other person have not yet been reported. The impact site is reportedly near a new Amazon distribution center that's currently under construction.

Cirrus Aircraft, which operates a facility in the area, was quick to distance itself from any potential involvement in the accident and has already released a preliminary statement... "There was an off-airport Cirrus SR Series aircraft accident in Knoxville involving two persons this morning. The aircraft involved is not owned or operated by Cirrus Aircraft..."

The matter is said to be under investigation by the NTSB.
