NTSB accident and incident record under N9281F

WPR14FA127Accident on March 3, 2014 at Truckee, CA: fatal, substantial damage (1 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Piper PA 46 350P · serial 4636095

The pilot’s failure to properly execute the missed approach in instrument conditions. Contributing to the accident were the pilot’s lack of instrument proficiency, as demonstrated by his failure to execute the required procedure turn to align with the final approach course and to configure the airplane for the approach, and his loss of situational awareness and the onset of spatial disorientation during the missed approach.
