Pilot's Deadly Mistakes Get The Nelons Killed! Pilot Debrief New 902K views https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N4EeqpoRptc&pp=ugUEEgJlbtIHCQkaDAGHKiGM7w%3D%3D The Nelons were a famous southern gospel music family but they were onboard a PC-12 that crashed killing 7 people onboard the plane after the pilot made a deadly mistake. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its final report regarding the tragic July 26, 2024, crash of the Pilatus PC-12/47E. The crash resulted in the deaths of seven people, including three members of the Grammy-nominated southern gospel group, The Nelons (Jason Clark, Kelly Nelon Clark, and Amber Nelon Kistler), along with family members, an assistant, and the pilot and his wife.

This led to an in-flight breakup of the aircraft. [1] (https://avi-go.com/news/articles/8379b759b1dfb59997573a5a5943861d)A critical sequence of events led to the accident:The Autopilot Disconnect: While cruising at 26,000 feet, the aircraft encountered convective weather and a powerful updraft estimated at up to 3,346 feet per minute. This extreme turbulence exceeded the autopilot system's capabilities, causing it to automatically disconnect.

He reported to air traffic control that he was "trying to get control of the airplane," but the aircraft entered a rapid descent, exceeded its maximum operating speed, and suffered a catastrophic structural failure before impacting the ground near Recluse, Wyoming.

The autopilot functioned as designed by disconnecting when environmental limits were exceeded, making the subsequent loss of manual control the primary factor.
