A preliminary federal report about a small plane crash near Osborn, Mo., last month said the plane hit "trees and terrain" while maneuvering at low altitude.
A pilot and a passenger died when the plane crashed in a field on Feb. 14. No one on the ground was injured.
Witnesses said the pilot had circled a nearby home and had been waving to people on the ground.
The plane, a Piper PA-28-180 had left from the airport in Grain Valley, Mo., shortly before the crash. Weather was not believed to be a factor in the crash.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board said there was substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings after the crash. A final report on the crash is pending.
