![]() At 0920:55, the airplane reached a peak airspeed of about 197 knots, which then started decreasing. The airplane then started to descend while the left roll continued. At that time, the airplane was tracking 200°, its bank angle was about 35° to the left, and its airspeed was about 169 knots. The aircraft performance calculations further showed that, at 0920:40, the airplane reached a peak altitude of 925 ft msl. The airplane’s airspeed remained at 165 knots for about 10 seconds before it started increasing again, and the airplane continued to roll steadily to the left at an average roll rate of about 2° per second. At that time, the airplane was tracking 232° at an altitude of 474 ft and an airspeed of 165 knots. ![]() At 0920:13, the airplane started rolling back toward wings level and, 7 seconds later, rolled through wings level and toward the left. The calculations also showed that the airplane then turned slightly to the right toward the assigned heading of 240° and climbed at a rate that varied between 1,000 and 2,400 ft per minute and an airspeed that increased from about 151 to 165 knots. Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) data for the accident flight started at 0920:05, and aircraft performance calculations showed that the airplane was climbing through an altitude of 150 ft msl at that time. Before takeoff, the controller issued an instrument flight rules clearance to the pilot, instructing him to turn right onto a heading of 240° and climb to and maintain an altitude of 2,000 ft mean sea level (msl) after takeoff. The personal flight departed from Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field (LFT), Lafayette, Louisiana, and entered the clouds when the airplane was at an altitude of about 200 ft above ground level.
