Additional Participating Entity: 
Federal Aviation Administration / Flight Standards District Office; Baton Rouge, Louisiana 

Location: Bossier City, LA
Accident Number: CEN21LA089
Date & Time: December 16, 2020, 04:39 Local 
Registration: N55168
Aircraft: Piper PA28 Injuries: 2 Fatal
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

On December 16, 2020, at 0439 central standard time, a Piper PA-28-180 airplane, N55168, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Bossier City, Louisiana. 

The student pilot and passenger were fatally injured. 

The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.

The flight originated from Shreveport Downtown Airport (DTN), Shreveport, Louisiana, during night, instrument meteorological conditions.

Security video and records show the airport pilot controlled lighting (PCL) was activated at 0412 and an airplane departed Rwy 14 at 0417. 

Radar data began tracking the airplane at 0418 with a transponder code of 1200. 

The airplane flew an irregular flight path to the east and maneuvered over Barksdale Air Force Base (BAD) for about 20 minutes.

Shreveport (SHV) air traffic control contacted the BAD tower controller and informed him there was traffic squawking 1200 and flying between 500’ and 1000’ near the base. 

The BAD tower controller said that he turned up the runway lights at BAD to full brightness and attempted to contact the airplane on the radio but did not receive a reply.

Radar data indicated the airplane’s altitude varied between about 600 and 1800 ft mean sea level during the flight and showed the airplane in a left descending turn before the radar data ended at 0439.

The airplane impacted remote, wooded terrain on BAD property, resulting in separation of the left wing, partial separation of the right wing, and crushing and deformation of the fuselage forward of the empennage.

According to the student pilot’s most recent flight instructor (CFI), he issued the pilot a local traffic pattern solo endorsement on November 21, 2020, with limitations that he was not to fly without first calling the CFI to review weather and NOTAMs.

The CFI said he had explained to the pilot that his solo endorsement did not afford him the right to carry passengers.

The pilot did not contact the CFI prior to the accident flight.

BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, Louisiana  --  Airmen from the 2nd Security Forces Squadron, 2nd Civil Engineer Squadron, 2nd Medical Group, 2nd Logistics Readiness Squadron and local authorities worked in conjunction to locate and effectively respond to a civilian light aircraft crash on the east side of Barksdale, December 16, 2020.

At approximately 4:45 a.m., December 16, 2020, local air traffic controllers lost radar contact with the aircraft over the east side reservation of Barksdale. The installation was notified by the Federal Aviation Administration at 5 a.m., and first responders were dispatched for a search with intent to rescue operation.

Personnel from the base, with assistance from Bossier Sheriff’s Office authorities, located the aircraft and two deceased passengers at approximately 8:25 a.m. The scene was secured and the incident is under further investigation.

“We intend to support these families as best we can, support the investigation as best possible, and then try to move on here in this holiday season knowing that the community is going to be hurting a little bit from the loss of individuals from the local area,” said Col. Mark Dmytryszyn, 2nd Bomb Wing commander.

After rescue attempts were made and the scene was deemed safe, a host of emergency response units from both Barksdale and the local area moved in to aid in the investigation.

The investigation, now coordinated between the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board, is ongoing and has the full support of the 2nd Bomb Wing and base agencies.

OFFICIAL Release of Names of Deceased in Plane Crash on BAFB

Bossier Sheriff's Office has been in close contact with officials at Barksdale Air Force Base and the Bossier Parish Coroner’s Office and is now able to release the names of the two persons who died during the aircraft crash on the east reservation of Barksdale Air Force Base early Wednesday morning.  Bossier Parish Coroner's Office confirms the deceased are Jet Andrew Montgomery, 18, of Bossier City, and Jonathan Cole Harris, 19, of Bossier City.  Next of kin have been notified. Any queries about the crash should be directed to the 2nd Bomb Wing Public Affairs office of BAFB at (318) 456-1015 or 2BW.PA@us.af.mil.  The Federal Aviation Administration and/or National Transportation Safety Board will take over the investigation.

John Cole Harris

Bossier City, Louisiana-- KTBS is learning more about the pilot involved in the plane crash at Barksdale Air Force Base. According to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) online database, the pilot, 18-year-old Jet Montgomery, was prohibited from carrying passengers while operating a plane.

Montgomery was certified June 10th, 2020. The passenger, was 19-year old John Cole Harris.

The Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee Challenger aircraft crashed early Wednesday morning just before 5 a.m. Air traffic controllers lost radar contact with the aircraft, that’s when the FAA was notified. They were pronounce dead at the scene.

KTBS contacted the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). They say they are investigating the accident. However, they have not sent an investigator to the scene at this time. According to Keith Holloway, Public Affairs Officer for the NTSB, he says, “What we’re going to do is work with the FAA, who is going to document the scene and examine the aircraft who will then provide that information for an NTSB investigation.”  Holloway says a preliminary report will most likely be available in about 12 days, with possible delays due to the holidays.

KTBS spoke with the plane’s registered owner according to the FAA registry, Jeffrey Smith. Smith said he had been in talks with Montgomery’s family, particularly his father, within recent months to sell the plane. He says he just sold the plane to Montgomery’s father within the past two months. Smith says a temporary registration should have been in place, but the FAA has not finalized the new owner’s information in their database.

The community mourned the loss of the Airline High School graduates. Shreveport’s Buttercups Cupcakes held a fundraiser to raise money for the teen’s funeral expenses. All of the profits from Thursday will be go towards funeral costs. The owner of the bakery is Jet Montgomery’s aunt.

    1. I was thinking impairment also. Why would 2, 18-19 yr old boys be up, and at the airport, at 4:00AM, with those weather conditions unless, they were not thinking clearly. Unfortunately, the control tower at (DTN) airport, where the airplane was based, does not open until 7:00 AM. If so, the tower might have been able to "discourage" the movement, or even the takeoff of the aircraft.
      Just so sad to hear about 2 young "Kids" that could have been anything they aspired to do in the future, end so tragically.

    2. Yeah, I was wondering if these kids had been up all night drinking or smoking weed and decided to go flying around 4am. Guess we’ll just have to wait for the NTSB to get finished.

  3. Shoddy and reckless airmanship plain and simple.

  4. The only reason the pilot would be forbidden to carry a passenger is if he was still a student solo and doesn't have his full private ticket. Or did I miss something? Tragic unnecessary waste of two young lives - a story which itself is getting more ominous as the nation's population ages while younger generations are not replacing them at the same historic pay to pay for things like Social Security and Medicare in their wages.

  5. It could be a foolish hop around the area, but what would be the motivation to take a passenger on a pre-dawn flight in poor weather? Perhaps they were heading out on a trip, having completed training and check ride in recent days.

    The airmen registry lags behind check rides, so it is possible that he was no longer a student pilot. You can see what the lag is at the link below. Checking on 20 December found this:

    "We are currently processing permanent Airmen Certificates for temporary certificates that were issued approximately December 1, 2020."

    1. His CFI indicated he had only a solo endorsement and that it required a preflight briefing with the CFI prior to flying, without a passenger, and that there was no such briefing. He was therefore not a certificates pilot.

      Delete
  6. he likly had no idea what was ahead of a takeoff into poor visibility conducive to spatial disorientation.
    "As the takeoff progresses, the cross-check should transition from outside references to the heading indicator, airspeed indicator, and attitude indicator. The rate of transition is directly proportional to the rate at which outside references are deteriorating. It is extremely important for this cross-check to be in progress before losing complete outside visual references during the takeoff roll and subsequent departure.
    As you lift off, be committed to attitude instrument flying so you can disregard erroneous sensory inputs. The takeoff attitude should be established on the attitude indicator at the appropriate point on the takeoff roll. This is normally at rotation or just prior to reaching takeoff airspeeds. Know the specific takeoff attitude required for your aircraft. This pitch attitude and a wings level attitude should be held constant as the aircraft becomes airborne. Cross check the vertical velocity indicator (vertical speed indicator) and altimeter for positive climb indications before retracting gear and flaps." https://pilotworkshop.com/tips/instrument-takeoff/

      That is most likely a true statement.
      But, the rest of your post (article) is not intended for a non-instrument rated "STUDENT PILOT" for takeoff at night into IFR/LIFR conditions. It is however, a good "Tip" for a properly trained, rated, and competent pilot for transition into IFR flight after takeoff.

    1. If they left before daylight to go somewhere a few hours distant, the expectation would be to land in daylight under the weather conditions at the destination. The N18666 Clackamas crash had that day plan profile.

  8. Post on a family member's FB page from June indicated he was about 10 weeks from "being a pilot" - so it's likely that he was ticketed and the FAA database just hasn't caught up yet.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I interpret that a bit differently. His medical was issued in June, and allowed him to move forward with training. If his goal was to take his checkride in ten weeks, it never occurred. FAA will confirm in two more weeks as they are now processing applications from December 4th. Until then, he is a Student Pilot as far as we know.

      Delete
    2. Not according to the preliminary report. Certificated pilots do not need a preflight briefing with their CFI in order to exercise a solo endorsement, and there would be no restriction re: passengers.

  9. New pilot flying night IFR? . . . Perhaps, just perhaps this lad's flight instructor deserves a kick in the pant's for failing to teach his student a proper respect for common sense flying.

    1. Seems unlikely that nothing was taught about WX, minimums, inadvertent IMC and so on in that Louisiana setting. Can't blame the Instructor if it turns out to actually be a student cert flight with passenger in defiance of regulation. (Will know when the Airmen Registry update processing goes past the accident date, or from the NTSB preliminary.)

      Delete
    2. Let’s not look for others to blame here. The young man made his own decision to fly that morning. The consequences were tragic. Fortunately he did not crash into the bombers at Barksdale.

      Delete
    3. Sadly, a reliable source related to us that this young man was 'on his third' flight instructor. First one dropped him because he wasn't showing up for scheduled lessons; second instructor dropped him because the student arrived 'with the smell of alcohol on his breath and appearing intoxicated.' Something like this was likely to happen sooner or later.

  13. Well, sad, no matter the thinking of an 18 y.o. pilot. It's one of those young kid type mistakes, feeling overly confident perhaps after completing training and wanting to show your skills to one of your best friends, etc. The same kind of spirit that energizes me around young people, that everything is possible, also can result in the worst outcomes.

    Lesson definitely to new pilots to know your limits. Taking off in the dark and in low IFR conditions with no instrument rating and only a few months of flying under your belt, is just a bad move no matter how you look at it.

  15. Prelim confirms the initial thoughts - the pilot only had a student pilot certificate.

    Also an interesting comment from his "most recent" flight instructor:

    According to the student pilot’s most recent flight instructor (CFI), he issued the pilot a local traffic pattern solo endorsement on November 21, 2020, with limitations that he was not to fly without first calling the CFI to review weather and NOTAMs. The CFI said he had explained to the pilot that his solo endorsement did not afford him the right to carry passengers. The pilot did not contact the CFI prior to the accident flight.

  16. If the accident pilot was not paying off the aircraft purchase by himself, exposure to lawsuit on behalf of the passenger could become an additional heartbreak for the family of the student pilot.

    A likely cautionary tale for family aircraft purchasing and a test of how insurance policy terms respond to violation of the no passenger rule for students.

    And yes there was a lawsuit against the estates and family of the deceased student pilot who happened to also be a recovering drug addict, for letting access to the plane in spit of knowledge of his addiction and drug violations.

    ReplyDelete
  18. https://casetext.com/case/heins-v-commerce-1 is the resultant lawsuit among others. The insurance actually denied protection against the lawsuit by the passenger's estates against the owner of the aircraft and the different courts supported that decision. This doesn't bode well for the family of the pilot as any insurance coverage will be rendered moot by the violation done by the student pilot of illegally flying a passenger in spite of the restrictions on his endorsement and possible drug use which might be revealed by an autopsy.

    1. And what a final report it is! He had enough amphetamine on board to be a full-on addict, although his father claimed he had ADHD. Knowing this, his father bought the Cherokee for him, too. Since they obviously have money, I can feel the lawsuit against them winning now. It should include the parents being just as negligent as the bone-headed 18 year old.

  22. CFI statements do mention alcohol use but none was detected post-mortem. However there apparently was a medication impairment issue, labeled as evidence of abuse although one could question whether it was accidental. Not knowing anything about the medication involved I wonder how much additional would need to be taken to reach the detected level.
