NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On October 24, 2014, at an unknown time, a Cessna T210 airplane, N761SU, impacted terrain near Bay City, Wisconsin. The airplane was destroyed and the private rated pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was registered and operated by a private individual under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed and the airplane was not on a flight plan. The flight originated from the Kings Land O' Lakes Airport (KLNL), Land O' Lakes, Wisconsin, about 1315 CDT and was en route to the Hartington Municipal Airport / Bud Becker Field (0B4), Hartington, Nebraska.
When family members reported the airplane overdue, an ALNOT (Alert Notice) was issued. A search located the airplane wreckage in a field, about three miles east of the Red Wing Regional airport (KRGK).
The on-site examination of the wreckage revealed the airplane's left wing impacted an open area of a corn field. From the initial impact point, the wreckage path consisted of a large crater, then several fragments of airplane. The wreckage path then continued into standing corn stocks. Both wings were fragmented and separated from the fuselage, the main cabin was severely crushed; the empennage was twisted from the fuselage and remained attached primarily by cable/wiring. The engine had separated from the fuselage and continued down the wreckage path; the engine was located about 290 feet from the main ground crater. The 3-bladed propeller had separated from the engine and hub. One blade was found in the main crater, another blade was located about 30 feet from the main crater, and about 100 feet from the main crater, but to the right of the wreckage path, was the third blade.
After the initial on-site documentation of the wreckage, the airplane was recovered for further examination.
