Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

On May 20, 2018, about 1423 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA34-200T, N1101X, was destroyed during impact with wooded mountainous terrain and a postcrash fire while maneuvering near Bennington, Vermont. The commercial pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was privately owned by the pilot who was operating it under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed near the accident site, and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight to Waterbury-Oxford Airport (OXC), Oxford, Connecticut. The flight originated from Burlington International Airport (BTV), Burlington, Vermont, about 1345.

According to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) designated pilot examiner (DPE) at BTV, the pilot had obtained a commercial pilot certificate and flight instructor certificate with multiengine land ratings on May 17 and May 19, respectively. They then reviewed weather together on May 19 for the pilot's return flight to his home airport, OXC, and the DPE advised the pilot to return on May 21 due to weather. The DPE stated that he was surprised to learn that the pilot attempted to return home on May 20.

Review of air traffic control information from the FAA revealed that the pilot was receiving flight following from Albany Approach Control. The controller advised the pilot of the location of precipitation and mountainous terrain nearby. The controller subsequently solicited a pilot report from the pilot regarding cloud bases. The pilot reported that the cloud bases were at 3,000 ft; at that time, radar indicated that the accident airplane was at 3,400 ft mean sea level (msl), flying southeast. The controller then asked the pilot if he was in the clouds, and the pilot responded that he was coming out of them. The controller suggested a westbound turn for lower terrain and continued radar coverage. At that time, the accident airplane was flying between 3,200 ft and 4,000 ft msl, but the minimum vectoring altitude for that area was 5,000 ft msl. The airplane briefly turned to a westbound heading, but then turned back to a southeast heading. About 4 miles later, the controller again advised the pilot that, if he continued on the present heading, radar coverage would be lost. The pilot asked again what heading he should fly, and the controller responded westbound, to which the pilot responded, "westbound heading 270." Radar and radio contact were subsequently lost during the second westbound turn. The last radar target was recorded at 1423:41, indicating an altitude of 3,500 ft msl and groundspeed of 218 knots about 1,000 ft from the accident site, which was located on Bald Mountain, at an elevation of about 2,625 ft msl.

Latitude, Longitude: 42.923889, -73.139167 

A debris path was observed beginning with freshly-cut tree branches descending at an approximate 45° angle and extending about 60 ft on a magnetic heading of 265° to the main wreckage. Several of the branches exhibited cuts with black paint transfer. The main wreckage came to rest upright and was oriented about a 265° magnetic heading, with the empennage canted over the cockpit area. The left propeller separated from the left engine flange and one propeller blade separated from the hub. The blade exhibited s-bending, chordwise scratching, leading edge gouging, and tip curling, and was fractured near the blade root. The other left propeller blade was not located and presumed buried beneath the engine. The right propeller separated from the right engine flange; however, both right propeller blades remained attached to the hub. Both blades exhibited s-bending and leading-edge gouging.

The landing gear and flaps were retracted. The cockpit was consumed by fire and no readable instruments were recovered. The emergency locator transmitter was recovered, and its switch was found in the off position. The attitude indicator was recovered; its face sustained impact damage. When the attitude indicator was disassembled, its gyroscope and housing exhibited rotational scoring consistent with rotation at the time of impact.

The right wing was partially consumed by fire and exhibited impact damage. The right flap remained attached; the right aileron separated and was located about 2 ft from the right wing. The left wing sustained fire damage, but exhibited less impact damage than the right wing. The left flap and left aileron remained attached to the left wing. The empennage, rudder, and stabilator remained attached. Control continuity was confirmed from the left and right wing aileron bellcranks to the mid-cabin area. Stabilator control continuity was confirmed from the stabilator to the cockpit. Rudder control continuity was confirmed from the rudder to the empennage area. Measurement of the stabilator and rudder trim jackscrews each corresponded to an approximate neutral setting.

Both engines were examined following recovery of the wreckage. Due to impact and fire damage, the crankshaft could not be rotated on either engine; however, visual examination of the engines' core components through the fractured oil sumps and borescope examination of the cylinders revealed no preimpact mechanical malfunctions. Additionally, no preimpact anomalies were noted with either engine's fuel and ignition systems. 

Medical And Pathological Information


The Vermont State Department of Health's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Burlington, Vermont, performed the autopsy on the pilot. The FAA's Bioaeronautical Sciences Research Laboratory, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, performed toxicological testing of the pilot. The results were negative for drugs and alcohol.

WOODFORD, Vt. - Authorities say search crews have found the wreckage of a small plane that crashed into the woods on Bald Mountain in Vermont's Green Mountains, killing the pilot.

The plane that crashed is registered to Persaud Munidat, he's from Waterbury Connecticut. Though we're not certain he was the one flying the plane.

The FAA lost radar contact with a twin-engine piper around 6 p.m. Sunday.

A search started immediately and crews found the wreckage early Monday morning in a wooded area in the town of Woodford.

The victim's body was taken from the scene in Woodford around 1:30 p.m. Monday. State police say he was flying alone.

They say the pilot lost contact with the FAA around 3:30 Sunday afternoon. They believe he was traveling from Vermont to Connecticut.

Search crews began looking for the plane around 7 p.m. Sunday evening. They found the wreckage around 1 a.m. on Monday morning about three miles off Route 9, in that heavily-wooded area.

Police say it was a twin-engine plane that crashed, but there are no details on the specific brand or model of the plane.

Police say the pilot had five to seven years of flying experience and was definitely not a novice.

The FAA and the NTSB are working with state and local officials to determine a cause, why communication was lost and identify the victim.

WOODFORD — The pilot of a twin-engine aircraft that crashed into Bald Mountain on Sunday was found dead at the heavily wooded crash site just after 1 a.m. Monday, according to Vermont State Police.

The pilot was alone, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. State police Monday evening identified the pilot and single occupant as Ramsey Sampson Ah-Nee, 31, of Manchester, Conn.

Ah-Nee was described as an experienced pilot with five-plus years of aviation experience. The aircraft was identified as a Piper PA-34 Seneca.

Preliminary information from the FAA indicates that the plane left from Burlington International Airport en route to Waterbury-Oxford Airport in Oxford, Conn.

The crash site is in a heavily wooded area of town, approximately three miles off Route 9, police said.

The plane was not expected at any Vermont airports, said Trini Brassard, assistant director of policy, planning, and intermodal development with the Vermont Agency of Transportation.

Pilots flying into Vermont airports usually call ahead to check on conditions. They aren't required to contact airports if they are merely flying in their area, she said.

State police said they activated search and rescue teams after receiving a report from the Federal Aviation Administration at 5:56 p.m. Sunday that an aircraft had been lost in the vicinity of Bald Mountain. The FAA provided the last known coordinates of the aircraft before it had lost radar confirmation, and the flight plan.

Brassard said that to her knowledge, there were no adverse weather conditions in the area at the time the plane crashed. The National Weather Service reported overcast skies at the time.

Bill Greenwald, manager of Harriman and West Airport in North Adams, Mass., got a call from air traffic control Sunday afternoon. They were looking for the plane, which had disappeared from radar.

They asked him if the plane had landed at Harriman and West, but it had not, he said. Search and rescue teams, consisting of State Police uniformed troopers, State Police Search and Rescue personnel, and Vermont Fish and Wildlife wardens, spread out Sunday night as darkness was falling.

Recovery personnel and state police detectives headed to the area Monday to assess the scene and prepare for the recovery of the pilot's body. State and local officials are working jointly with the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board to support and assist with the investigation and recovery efforts.

State police said they would release more information as it became available.

State police search and rescue and State Fish & Wildlife crews searched the wooded areas. They found the plane around 1:00am Monday in a heavily wooded area, about three miles of of Route 9 near Woodford. Crews stayed at the crash scene overnight.

Police believe only the pilot was on board. He's been identified as 31-year-old Ramsey Sampson Ah-Nee, of Manchester, Connecticut. They believe the plane was flying from Burlington, VT towards Connecticut. They say the man died in the crash and the body was found.

Crews hiked up the West Ridge Trail early Monday morning with a stretcher to begin the recovery efforts.

Police are unsure what caused the plane to go down.

State Police say they will be investigating with the FAA and NTSB over the next few days.

That area of Bald Mountain will be closed to hikers during the investigation.

  2. Not true. If you look at Metars from Bald Mountain area it reported overcast with ceilings coming down from 4500 to 3900 which seemed to track the pilot's descent from his original cruise at 5500. From this evidence, it looks like he had descended beneath the ceiling. Radar terminates at 2:30pm: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N1101X
