On April 19, 2013, about 1655 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 210E, N111BK, was substantiallydamaged when it impacted trees and terrain while on final approach to Williamsburg-JamestownAirport (JGG), Williamsburg, Virginia. The commercial pilot and passenger were fatally injured.Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules flight plan was filedfor the flight. The flight originated at Potomac Airfield (VKX), Friendly, Maryland, about 1550,and was destined for JGG. The personal flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code ofFederal Regulations Part 91.

According to witnesses, the airplane passed beyond the extended runway centerline when the pilotreported on the common traffic advisory frequency that he was turning from the airport pattern baseleg to final approach for runway 13. The pilot executed a steep right turn towards the runway, andthe airplane pitched down and descended at a steep angle behind a tree line.

The accident site was located in a residential neighborhood, about 1/2 mile and 310 degrees fromthe arrival end of runway 13 at JGG. The wreckage was oriented about 335 degrees magnetic, restingvertically on the engine and leading edges of the wings.
