CROZET, Va. (WHSV) - The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued its investigative report into a 2018 Crozet plane crash that killed a Staunton pilot.
On April 15, a Cessna 525 piloted by 51-year-old Kent Carr, who was a long-time Staunton resident, crashed into several trees and then a slope near Crozet.
The crash happened with rain and mist in the area and lightning detected to the northeast and south of the closest airport, Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (CHO).
However, Lockheed Martin Flight Services said in the days after the crash that Carr had made no contact with them. According to a preliminary report from the NTSB issued about two weeks after the fatal crash, Carr had not filed a flight plan when he took off from Richmond Executive - Chesterfield County Airport (FCI) around 8:35 p.m., destined for the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport (SHD) in Weyers Cave.
The NTSB's final report, issued this week, found that Carr was intoxicated at the time of the crash.
According to the report, a friend of Carr told the NTSB that he had had "a couple of drinks" with dinner that night and left her home around 7:30 p.m.
