NTSB accident and incident record under N821ET

WPR16FA178Accident on September 12, 2016 at Reno, NV: fatal, destroyed (3 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Piper PA 28R-201T · serial 28R-7703147

The pilot's decision to depart with the airplane loaded above its maximum gross weight and at or just beyond its aft center of gravity limitations, which resulted in a loss of control during the initial climb. Contributing to the accident was the pressure to complete the flight as planned, and the pilot's use of multiple impairing drugs, which degraded his decision-making.
