TBM 700 Freighter Lands Short

Pilot Killed on Airport, Short of Runway

A quick call to Mr. Stephane Bernard, CEO of Socata, in Florida, revised a critical piece of data from the FAA's preliminary report (below): he confirmed local reports that, unfortunately, the pilot was lost in the crash. Mr. Bernard told ANN, "They have removed some of the parts, including the engine; it will take a few weeks before we know what happened. I have dispatched one of my people to assist the NTSB with the investigation."

To sum up, Mr. Bernard continued, "The airplane is burned; there was one fatality. It ended up on the airport grounds, but it missed the runway by a short distance. We will probably know [what happened] in a few weeks."

Calls to Quest Diagnostics, the medical equipment company that owns the fleet of the TBM-700 freighters of which this plane was an example, were not returned by press time.
