TSB conducted a limited-scope, fact-gathering investigation into this occurrence to advance transportation safety through greater awareness of potential safety issues.
The privately registered Blackshape Prime BS100 was conducting circuits on runway 28 at Ottawa/Carp airport (CYRP). TSB explains that, after a touch-and-go takeoff, the aircraft began to climb, then started a left turn prior to passing over the end of the runway.
Approximately 240 metres south of the runway, TSB explains aircraft entered a near vertical descent and crashed into a wooded area. The pilot, who was the sole occupant of the aircraft, was fatally injured. The aircraft was destroyed by a post-impact fire.
