On February 19, 2022, about 1328 mountain standard time, an experimental amateur-built Vans RV-7A airplane, was destroyed following an inflight-break up near Triangle Airpark, (AZ50), White Hills, Arizona. The pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated by the pilot as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
Recorded Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) showed that the airplane departed Boulder City Municipal Airport (BVU), Boulder City, Nevada, about 1315 and ascended to about 5,500 ft mean sea level (msl). The airplane traveled east south-east over mountainous terrain for about 28 miles and made several wide 90-degree turns. The radar data showed that airplane began a rapid descending turn near Triangle Airpark, in the area where the main wreckage was located.
Security video captured the airplane in a steep nose down spiral before it impacted terrain. Several pieces of aircraft structure were seen falling from the airplane as it descended to the ground.
The airplane was relocated to a secure facility for further examination.
