This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. NTSB investigators either traveled in support of this investigation or conducted a significant amount of investigative work without any travel, and used data obtained from various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report.

 
On May 20, 2012, at 1930 central daylight time a Cessna T210L, N29112, registered to and operated by the pilot, was substantially damaged when it impacted trees and the ground during a go-around maneuver at a private grass airstrip near Boyd, Texas. The private pilot sustained fatal injuries and his 3 passengers sustained serious injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed in the vicinity and no flight plan was filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 flight. The personal cross-country flight originated at 1800 from the Shreveport Downtown Airport (DTN), Shreveport, Louisiana, and the private airstrip was its final destination.

Several residents of the area located near the airstrip saw the airplane on what seemed to be a normal approach toward the airstrip before the airplane was no longer visible behind tree lines. One passenger who survived, who occupied the right front seat, stated that the wind was calm during the approach and that the airplane had not touched by about mid-field, at which time the pilot decided to initiate a go-around. The airplane intended to land on the runway oriented to the north, approximately 350 degrees magnetic.

Several broken/damaged tree branches atop two 30-foot tall trees were found beyond the departure end of the 1,900-foot grass runway near the extended runway centerline, consistent with the airplane's flight path. The airplane wreckage was found beyond the damaged trees and appeared to impact the ground inverted. A post-impact fire consumed the airplane.



Steven Michael Dauenhauer, 46, passed away Sunday, May 20, 2012, in Springtown, Texas.

Steven was born April 1, 1966, in Vallejo, Calif., and moved to Springtown in 1968. Steven grew up in Springtown where, after graduation, he began his career in construction contracting. With a work ethic that would and does continue to inspire those around him, Steven built a very successful contracting and construction company. His work is not only evident in and around Springtown but across Texas, as well as neighboring states.

As much as he was a successful businessman, his true success was in who he was as a person. Steven left behind a legacy of kindness, honor, integrity and love. He let his love of the Lord and his Christian faith guide his life. He gave back to his community through his work at his church, local schools and civic organizations. As a volunteer coach and youth leader in his church, he was a role model and mentor. His impact was especially felt by the community’s youth since he was always willing to go above and beyond if he thought it would benefit the kids. This role model and mentor influence also had a deep effect on the adults around him. He was a leader of men and inspired those around him to do their best.

To his friends, he was an all out kind of guy. If you planned on helping Steven work, you had better be prepared to work. If you were planning on having fun with Steven, you had better be prepared to have fun. He was always up for a challenge and adventure. Everything Steven did was first class, done to the best of his ability and with the attitude “whatever it takes.” He lived his life to the fullest with a smile on his face and a baseball cap on his head. You never knew what the next project was that Steven had in mind but you could always rest assured he had something else already planned.

Steven was an avid outdoorsman with a passion for hunting and fishing. Being outdoors and spending time with his three boys, brothers and friends was without a doubt his favorite pastime. Instilling a love for the outdoors in his sons brought him true pleasure and he treasured every sunrise spent with them as a blessing. Being true to his character, Steven took more pride and felt more satisfaction watching others be successful in their outdoor pursuits as much as the ones he had accomplished himself.

Everything Steven set out to do was an accomplishment and something to be proud of. However, there was nothing more important to Steven than his family. His beautiful wife Debbie was the love of his life and his best friend. He often spoke of his love for her and described her as the best woman, wife, mother and friend a man could have and how she was the peace and balance in his life. Together they raised three outstanding sons who all show the same characteristics as their father. He proudly watched as his sons grew into fine young men and took immense satisfaction in knowing their faith, work ethic and integrity would take them far in life. His love for his family knew no bounds

Steven is survived by his loving wife Debbie; son, Cameron and his wife, Amber, sons, Colby and Caston; granddaughter, Cambree; mother, Janet Duvall and husband, Bobby Duvall; brothers, Ricky Dauenhauer and wife, Chantal, and Bobby Dauenhauer and wife, Christy; little brother and sister, Jason and Breanna; nieces, Becca, Brooklyn, Brinklee and Caitlin; and nephew, Payton; along with many other loving family and friends.

Visitation will be May 31 at The First Baptist Church in Springtown from 6 to 8 p.m.

Funeral will be June 1 at Springtown High School Stadium at 10 a.m.
