A Gulfstream 695A Jetprop Commander 1000, N965BC, was destroyed when it impacted mountainous terrain in San Bernardino, California.
The sole pilot onboard was fatally injured.
The pilot was flying the ZIGGY SEVEN standard terminal arrival route (STAR) to Chino Airport (KCNO). The aircraft suffered two altitude deviations which the pilot attributed to a problem with the autopilot. Towards the end of the flight, the airplane descended past the Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA) of 7400ft and was issued an altitude alert by the controller, but there was no response from 65BC. ADS-B data indicate the airplane entered a rapid descent, and had an average rate of about -10000 fpm at the last recorded point.
