Narrative:Witnesses said the pilot passed over their house between 300 and 500 feet and made 'a hard right roll. They said the 'plane [engine] usually cuts out or dies when he is upside down and will restart when he levels out. The engine did restart or picked up rpm and then he banked right and leveled out. . .He dipped down at about a 30 degree angle' and impacted the ground. The witnesses said the pilot normally flew around the area once or twice a week, and it was not uncommon for him to roll the airplane at a low altitude over their house. The pilot had had a heart attack in 1994, but did not report it on his medical certification applications in 1995 and 1996. He had recently begun taking Prinivil and Pravachol. The autopsy report listed the cause of death as 'massive traumatic injuries associated with an airplane crash.' CAUSE: The pilot's intentional performance of an aerobatic maneuver at an altitude insufficient for a safe recovery.
