NTSB ISSUES PRELIMINARY REPORT ON PLANE CRASH THAT KILLED SONGWRITER BRETT JAMES . (PHOTO).


 NTSB issues preliminary report on plane crash that killed songwriter Brett James 

New information has emerged regarding the plane crash last month in North Carolina that killed Grammy-winning songwriter Brett James and two others. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a preliminary report on the Sept. 18 incident.

Investigators say James’ Cirrus SR22T appeared to spiral before crashing in a field near an elementary school. The plane had departed Nashville’s John C. Tune Airport, bound for Macon County Airport in Franklin, on a personal flight with James serving as the pilot under visual flight conditions.

As the aircraft neared the airport around 2:48 p.m., James reported having the runway in sight and received clearance to switch to the common traffic advisory frequency. Shortly after, he informed air traffic control that he was at 6,800 feet and planned to make a full 360-degree turn before landing. That was the last transmission received from the plane.

Flight tracking data showed the aircraft descending in a left turn before entering what investigators described as a “tightening spiral.” The plane crashed roughly half a mile from the runway in a field near Iotla Valley Elementary School.

Witnesses said the plane was flying unusually low over the school’s playground with its wings rocking side-to-side, then rolled inverted before disappearing behind trees and crashing. No one on the ground was injured.

The report notes that the aircraft came to rest upright with all major components intact. Investigators found no evidence of engine failure, and the plane has been recovered for further examination.

Brett James was known for writing hits, including Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and Kenny Chesney’s “When the Sun Goes Down.” He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2020.
