NTSB accident and incident record under N4873C

DFW05FA038Accident on December 14, 2004 at Abita Springs, LA: fatal, destroyed (2 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Cessna T210N · serial 21063654

The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. Also causal was the pilot's improper in-flight emergency planning when he misjudged his available altitude and made a 360 degree turn away from the airport instead of proceeding directly to it, which resulted in him landing over a mile short of the runway in heavily wooded terrain. A factor was the prevailing high wind.
