On
June 10, 2015, about 0909 Pacific daylight time, a Beech F35, N4224B,
was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of
engine power during takeoff initial climb from the Snohomish County
Airport (PAE), Everett, Washington. The airplane was registered to and
operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 91. The private pilot receiving instruction sustained
serious injuries and the flight instructor was fatally injured. Visual
meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the
personal flight. The flight was originating at the time of the
accident with an unknown destination.
Information obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) revealed that the pilot was cleared for takeoff on runway 16R at the alpha 4 intersection. Following an acknowledgement of the takeoff clearance, no further radio transmissions were heard from the pilot. Witnesses located adjacent to the accident site reported observing the airplane takeoff and settle below a tree line out of their line of sight.
Examination of the accident site by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge (IIC) revealed that the airplane impacted terrain in an area of thick vegetation about 1,921 feet south of the departure end of runway 16R. All major structural components of the airplane were located at the accident site. The wreckage was recovered to a secure location for further examination.
