The National Transportation Safety Board Preliminary Report on the July 26 fatal Pilatus PC12-47E accident in Wyoming does not offer much in the way of new information. It supports previous reporting that the single-engine turboprop, with seven on board including the owner-pilot, crashed after an apparent loss of autopilot function followed by a loss of control.
The NTSB report records, more specifically, that about an hour into the flight from Nebraska City Airport to Billings Logan International Airport in Montana, the aircraft (N357HE), cruising at 26,000 feet, maneuvered right of course and climbed to about 27,550 feet. It then began a right 270-degree turn. In the first 180 degrees of the turn, it descended to approximately 25,250 feet, then climbed back up to 27,025 feet in the final 90 degrees of the turn.
That maneuver was followed by a slight left turn followed by a descending 180-degree right turn. The pilot reported to Salt Lake City Air Route Traffic Control Center that he had lost his autopilot and was trying to regain control of the aircraft. The last data point recorded showed N347HE on a southerly heading at 21,900 feet. There were no more communications with ATC before the crash about 12 miles northeast of Recluse, Wyoming.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – A series of large and powerful wildfires have impacted Northeastern Wyoming in the past few weeks. In the effort to fight them, leaders addressed a crowd of hundreds in Gillette Tuesday.
More than 200,000 acres have been scorched by wildfires in Northeastern Wyoming, prompting evacuations and a massive, coordinated firefighting effort.
Firefighters, incident commanders, and meteorologists provided information and updates to a large crowd in Gillette’s CAM-PLEX Energy Hall Tuesday night, including affected homeowners, first responders on the front lines, and Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon.
Crews from around the country came to Northeastern Wyoming to aid firefighting efforts, including Ansgar Mitchell’s crew from Arizona.
“It’s been a great partnership working with the local resources where they’ve tried to give us as much information of how their communities receive information and, you know, one of them being tonight at this community meeting,” Ansgar Mitchell, Southwest Area Incident Management Team said.
Several fires have erupted in recent weeks, including the House Draw Fire, the Flat Rock Fire, and the Constitution Fire.
Though Monday’s storms brought some rain to the region, experts predict dry conditions favorable for wildfires to return soon.
”So, we’re definitely pretty much done, unfortunately, with precipitation chances for the next seven days or so,” Bruno Rodriguez, Incident Meteorologist, NWS Boulder said, “We have some very slim chances here and there. But it does look like a warm, dry pattern is gonna be interspersed with some breezy conditions, some dry conditions.”
Though the challenge of stopping the fires is far from over, meeting attendees left with new knowledge on how to stay safe through the fiery Wyoming summer.
