The National Transportation Safety Board released its preliminary report Saturday on the Nov. 18 crash in Snohomish.
A plane with two people on board went down in a field near Snohomish on Friday morning, 11-18-22.SEATTLE — A federal safety agency said Saturday that four people who died when a small plane crashed north of Seattle were conducting test flights to gather baseline information before the Cessna 208B was modified with a new aerodynamic drag reduction system.
The crew of the Cessna 208B had already done three days of test flights, but the day before the crash they ended early because one of the crew members felt ill. The crew went back up the following day and was testing the Cessna’s aft center-of-gravity stall characteristics when the plane crashed, the agency said.
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner previously identified the victims as three men from Washington state: Nathan Precup, 33, of Seattle; Nate Lachendro, 49, of Gig Harbor; and Scott Brenneman, 52, of Roy; as well as David Newton, 67, of Wichita, Kansas.
