Fatal aviation accident: RAYTHEON AIRCRAFT COMPANY A36 near Mountainaire (2013-05-28)
Probable cause: The pilot's inability to maintain a climb after departure in high-density altitude conditions, which resulted in a collision with trees and terrain. Contributing to the accident were the pilot's decision not to track the four-lane highway just beyond the departure runway, which he could have used as an alternate landing site; his premature rotation of the airplane; and degraded engine performance that affected the airplane's climb ability.
