Narrative:The pilot and passenger departed the Shearwater airport in a Cessna 172M aircraft, on a night visual flight rules (VFR) flight to the Liverpool airport. The flight was to include a touch-and-go at Liverpool before a return to Shearwater. About 2 ½ hours after flight departure, the Moncton Area Control Centre (ACC) was advised that an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signal was being received by other aircraft. A search was initiated and the wreckage site was found early the next morning. The aircraft had crashed in heavily wooded terrain two nautical miles (nm) west of the Liverpool airport. The two occupants were fatally injured, and the aircraft was destroyed.
The Board determined that, during the overshoot from the approach to the airport, the pilot probably lost situational awareness as a result of spatial disorientation, and unintentionally flew the aircraft into the ground.
