Aviation Investigation Preliminary Report

Location: Wilder, TN Accident Number: ERA25FA037

Date & Time: October 31, 2024, 18:37 Local Registration: N8110S

Aircraft: Cessna 150F Injuries: 1 Fatal

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

On October 31, 2024, about 1837 central daylight time, a Cessna 150F airplane, N8110S, was
destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Wilder, Tennessee. The student pilot was
fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91
personal flight.
Initial Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) track data revealed that the
accident airplane departed from runway 26 at Cross Memorial Airport – Whitson Field (CSV),
Crossville, Tennessee about 1817. Sunset had occurred at 1744 and the end of civil twilight
was at 1811. The airplane proceeded to the northeast, then to the north, and then to the
northwest. About one minute before the accident, the airplane turned to the west and ADS-B
data ended about 1837, at an altitude about 200 ft above the ground, and about 0.3 miles east
of the accident site (see figure 1). The pilot was not in contact with air traffic control prior to
the accident and there were no known distress calls received by any facilities in the area.

The initial impact point was a 100-ft-tall hardwood tree, and there was a wreckage path that
was oriented on a magnetic heading of 146°. The outboard half of the left wing remained
lodged in the top of the tree along the wreckage path. The empennage, aft fuselage, and main
landing gear also separated after impact with the tree. The main wreckage, consisting of the
right wing, cockpit, engine, and propeller, came to rest inverted at the base of another tree and
was consumed by a postimpact fire. All structural components of the airframe were located
within the confines of the debris field, which was about 250 ft in length.
An initial review of the weather conditions at the time of the accident revealed that the
accident site was located along the eastern edge of an eastward-moving precipitation band
(see figure 2). A Convective SIGMET was valid for the area surrounding the accident site. There
was no evidence that the pilot received a weather briefing from a source that logged contact
with pilots prior to the flight.

The pilot had purchased the airplane about one month prior to the accident. He held a student
pilot certificate and reported on an insurance application, submitted on the day of the accident,
that he had accumulated 65 total hours of flight experience, including 30 hours in the accident
airplane make and model.
