There are many possible reasons that led to the loss of control in this airplane. Hopefully, the final report from the NTSB will shed light on the exact cause of this accident.

Excellent narrative as to WHAT happened based on known facts. The most interesting question now is WHY did it happen - what was happening in the cockpit? what was the pilot’s state of mind?
This video was nicely done! The recreation really helped put things in perspective.
This highlights the importance of filing IFR from the get go. Pre flight planning. File IFR. Get your IFR clearance and release on the ground. Double check your GPS and FMS is loaded with the correct waypoints per your clearance. Depart. Fly the expected route or vectors as they are given to you. Land safely. This is why airlines are so safe. Two pilots. Always IFR from the start.
Thank you for the video. I was a student with the boys and as an aviation enthusiast I was left in the dark. Thank you for informing all who wish to know what happened.
This gives me a cold and a very bad feeling.
Interesting and sad. Hopefully more information will come with the final NTSB report.
Flight time and being experienced doesn't necessarily mean the same thing. Like, don't confuse education with intelligence. A 1000-hour sunny VFR day banner towing pilot and a 300-hour solo night freight pilot on schedules in the winter are two different experience levels and I will take the cargo dog to crew with. In 2021 US Airforce pilots averaged only 6 to 8 flying hours per month across the fleet. Not much flight time but a quality experience.
It occurs to me that if this flight was NORAC (7600/radio lost), flying to an approach fix, there might be a component of lost navigation in addition to what seems to be possible spatial disorientation and task saturation. I live in the Air Capital, KICT, and I am a huge aviation enthusiast. These GA fatals always get me in the feels, especially after N52SZ crashed about 300 yards from where I worked at the time. Rest in peace and my condolences to the families.
In a nose-high and high power condition, PC12 can have a nasty stall with wings rolling 90 degrees because of the tail location and wing/aileron design.
How experienced was the experienced pilot? Maybe the student pilot was flying and the experienced pilot got disoriented from the bad flying. What explains the lack of flight planning awareness of the restricted airspace borders?
Wow, a superb documentary Doering, the graphics and music were amazing. I wonder if carbon monoxide poisoning could have been an issue?
Your images are of a legacy PC12 instrument panel, the Alex avionics system in the NG which crashed are totally different and incredibly complex and difficult to understand. And I go to Flightsafety every year for the plane. I think this pilot was fumbling around trying to figure out how to deal with the FMS in IMC on a short trip. Gotta do this stuff on the ground.
Thanks for the video, and RIP to all. I recall the pilot was mature man, his son, copilot student, and two other adults. The others were mid teenage youngsters. I can imagine the pilot making this a memorable flight and allowing each of the four teenagers, and possibly the two adults, to sit in the pilot or copilot seat for a minute or two, with headset on listening to ATC. This would explain the missed ATC communications, and the reason an IFR flight plan was not made. And, not on autopilot and allowed to wander around a little, feeling the airplane move with yoke movements for a minute or two before trading seats Towards the end of flight, someone, pulling back on the yoke to get out of the seat, the aircraft would trade speed for climb....announcing eveyone back to your seat and fasten seat belt... A scramble of the pilot to get control....trim for weight and balance changed from everyone up front watching their pals and taking pictures of each....aircraft stalled and spun in.
Intimidation, lack of experience and spatial disorientation.
Single pilot,,VFR to IFR. Alot of stuff to do for 1 guy , got spacial disoriented
Wait no narration? I love listening to these while cleaning. Pleas consider voicing these videos. You have really good life like animations and back drops.
If the pilot was knowingly having trouble why didn't the autopilot get used?
Why didn't the Controller Issues a Heading to (IF/IAF) CIGOR after the pilot failed to change heading to go DIRECT CIGOR?
When did this PC 12 crash? I’ve seen the one that crashed near Stagecoach, Nevada a week ago.
Sounds medical. The plane is so well equipped. Auto pilot malfunction? Prob not. I've had that. Turn it off. His flying in restricted space is telling. Minor heart issue turned stroke? RIP. Could happen to all of us. I know. I have had a few very close calls in weather back pre garmin times.
