Location: Ocala, FL
Accident Number: ERA19LA094
Date & Time: 02/02/2019, 1625 EST
Registration: N123NY
Aircraft: AIRBORN Wind Sports Edge X
Injuries: 1 Fatal
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
On February 2, 2019, about 1625 eastern standard time, N123NY, an Airborne Windsports Edge X 2, collided with terrain during the initial climb after takeoff from Jumbolair Airport (17FL), Ocala, Florida. The two-place, weight shift-control experimental light-sport aircraft was substantially damaged. The non-certificated pilot was fatally injured. Day, visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time, and no flight plan was filed for the local, personal flight. The flight was operated under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91.
According to the owner of the airplane, his friend, the accident pilot, was taxiing the aircraft when he stepped away to use the restroom. When he came back, he was surprised to see that the pilot was taking off from runway 36. He noted the engine was at full power during the climbout and he saw the wings "wagging" and the pilot lost control.
According to a friend of the pilot, the pilot had been receiving flight instruction from the airplane's owner for the past year, and the accident flight was the pilot's first solo flight.
A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector responded to the accident site and examined the wreckage. The aircraft impacted the ground about 300 ft west of the runway, on a magnetic heading of 330°. The fuselage was on its side, with the nose crushed up to about the engine area. The right wing was broken in half midspan and the left wing was intact.
The aircraft was equipped with a Rotax 582, two-stroke, 64-horsepower engine. A search of FAA airman records revealed that the pilot did not hold a student pilot or medical certificate.
Weather reported at the Ocala International Airport (OCF), Ocala, Florida, about 9 miles southwest of the accident site, included wind from 050° at 7 knots, visibility 10 statute miles, scattered clouds at 900 ft, an overcast ceiling at 2,800 ft, temperature 20° C, dew point 18° C, and an altimeter setting of 30.10 inches of mercury.
