A preliminary report on a mid-air plane crash that killed three people in Boulder County in September has been released by the National Safety Transportation Board.
The Cessna 172S and Sonex Aircraft Xenos crashed in mid-air at 8:53 a.m. on Sept. 17 near Longmont, according to the NTSB report.
Based on air traffic control flight track data, investigators learned the pilot of the Cessna took off from the Rocky Mountain Municipal Airport in Denver at 8:43 a.m. and the Sonex left the Platte Valley Airpark in Hudson at 8:38 a.m. Both planes, operating under visual flight rules, climbed to about 7,000 to 7,500 feet above sea level — or roughly 2,000 feet above the ground, according to the report.
The left wings of both planes were found in a field below where the flight tracks merged. The Cessna's main wreckage site was found in a field about 1,800 feet southwest of the wing pieces. The main wreckage from the Sonex was found about 1,100 feet southwest of the fragments, according to the report.
