The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its preliminary report on the fatal Lancair ES crash during the opening day of EAA’s AirVenture on July 22.

According to the report, Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) data indicates the aircraft departed Trenton Mercer Airport (TTN) in Trenton, New Jersey, around 7:40 a.m. and flew to Hartford Municipal Airport (HXF) in Hartford, Wisconsin, before departing HXF around 11:45 a.m.

ATC recordings and ADS-B data show the aircraft was on the Fisk arrival when the pilot was directed to make a wider turn to accommodate an L-29 and an L-39 that were landing in front of him. The pilot confirmed he had them "in sight" and initiated a left turn. He was subsequently cleared to land on the yellow dot on Runway 36L and acknowledged the clearance.
