NTSB Factual Report

On July 12, 2018, about 1330 central daylight time, an experimental Rose Parrakeet A-1 airplane, N14842, impacted terrain after takeoff from runway 35 at Fairview Airport (7TS0), Rhome, Texas. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces. The private pilot, who was the sole occupant, sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of the Code of Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight that was not operating on a flight plan. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The flight originated about 1328 from 7TS0.

Witnesses stated that the airplane was about 100-200 feet above ground level, flying towards the north, when it banked "hard right" towards the east and "nose-dived" into terrain after takeoff. The wreckage was located about 0.4 nautical miles south of the airport. Ground scarring was limited to the area of the wreckage, which exhibited a nose-low impact attitude.
