![]() However, high-density altitude conditions existed in the accident area about the time of the accident. No significant weather or turbulence was reported or forecast in the vicinity of the accident site around the time of the accident. Postaccident examination of the airframe and engine revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. Therefore, the pilot's flight planning and intentions could not be determined. The pilot had not filed a flight plan, he did not communicate with air traffic control during the flight, and no radar data were available to identify the flight route. The airplane was reported overdue, and search and rescue personnel discovered the wreckage 2 days later on a canyon hillside. The commercial pilot was conducting a personal cross-country flight.
