Preliminary Reports
Conquest Down in Tennessee
Cessna 441, February 7, 2021, Winchester, Tennessee – A Cessna Conquest II crashed on approach to the Winchester, Tennessee, Municipal Airport, killing the airline transport pilot and commercial pilot on board. The IFR flight from the Thomasville, Georgia, Regional Airport checked in with Bowling Green Approach Control while descending to 4,000 feet msl and was cleared for the RNAV approach to Winchester’s Runway 36. Radar contact was lost as it descended through 2,300 feet, typical for coverage in that area. The controller’s attempt to contact the pilot three minutes later was unsuccessful, and after several hours the wreckage was found along a 500-foot debris path about six miles south of the airport. Both wings and most of the fuselage were consumed by a post-crash fire.
