Investigation Details Pilot Error in 2011 Cessna Crash That Killed Maine Game Warden
An investigative report is providing new details on the 2011 plane crash that resulted in the death of Maine Warden Pilot Daryl Gordon. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) spent two years investigating the incident, which occurred during a search mission over Clear Lake. The final report concluded the cause was pilot error, specifically an uncoordinated turn at low altitude that led to an aerodynamic stall and spin. Following the crash, the Maine Warden Service implemented significant changes to its flight training and safety protocols. The service now emphasizes stall/spin awareness and has adjusted its operational procedures for search missions.
