“On October 18, 2011, around 1315 eastern daylight time, a Berger Waiex, N75654, was substantially damaged following a loss of aircraft control and collision with terrain near Washington, Georgia. The certificated sport pilot was killed. The aircraft wreckage, except for its “Y-tail” assembly, was found in a wooded ravine, about 2.3 nautical miles north of IIY. The Y-tail was found separated, near a dirt road, about 550 feet southwest of the main wreckage.” (NTSB, 2011)Aerospace Engineerin
