UPDATED: Baron With Six Aboard Crashes On Approach To Kerrville

MARC COOK

A Beech Baron 58 crashed on approach to the Kerrville, Texas, airport Monday morning killing all six people onboard. According to local news reports, the Baron crashed in a ravine just before 9 a.m. The flight departed West Houston Airport (KIWS) at 7:30 a.m. local time. The vicitms have been identified as Houston residents Stuart Roben Kensinger, 55; Angela Webb, Kensinger, 54; Mark Damien Scioneaux, 58; Scott Reagan Miller, 55; Marc Tellepson, 45; and pilot Jeffrey Carl Weiss, 65. Weiss is listed as the co-owner of the aircraft. Radar tracking from FlightAware.com appears to show the Baron on the approach to Runway 12. The flight appeared to be operating normally until the course reversal just before OBUCO, the Initial Approach Fix for the Runway 12 GPS approach. Then, according to the radar data, the Baron slowed dramatically and descended below the approach course somewhere around LAVIC, the final approach fix. Its last radar contact had the Baron at 2000 feet and just 66 knots groundspeed. Kerrville airport lies at 1617 feet MSL and there are obstructions to the northwest, near the Baron’s flight path, that peak at nearly 2300 feet. Weather at the time of the crash was reported as 1400 feet overcast, visibility 10 SM, winds 160 degrees at 14 knots gusting to 19. Local news reports confirm the local rescue and law enforcement is on the scene. The FAA issued a Temporary Flight Restriction over the crash site as well.
