A privately owned Extra 200 took off from Fujigawa glider strip for flight test to prepare for the airworthiness inspection boarded by a pilot. The airplane did not return to the glider strip even after the expected time of arrival, 09:57 and went missing. At around 15:00 the same day, the search operation recovered airplane debris from the sea stretching between the estuaries of Okitsu River and Fuji River, northern part of Suruga Bay. It was unable to find the pilot.
This accident possibly occurred as follows: the airplane not equipped with an attitude indicator encountered bad weather; the pilot lost visual cue in the clouds was falling into a spatial disorientation; and resulted in the crash into the sea.
The JTSB doesn’t deny the possibilities of mechanical anomalies which lead to the unusual attitude, or the lightning strike which inhibited the normal flight. With the missing pilot and small fraction of recovered debris, the JTSB was unable to
identify the probable cause of the crash.
