On September 5, 2015, about 1408 mountain daylight time a Cessna 310H, N1099Q, impacted
mountainous terrain near Silverton, Colorado. The private pilot, a pilot-rated passenger, and
two passengers were fatally injured. Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) prevailed at the time of the
accident, and no flight plan had been filed. The pilot was not using air traffic control (ATC)
services.
A fixed-base operator (FBO) employee at FLG stated that, during the airplane's taxi to the fuel
pumps, the airplane almost hit an "Eclipse jet," and he thought it was going to hit golf carts
that were near the FBO building. When the airplane arrived, it taxied close enough to the selfserve
fuel pumps that it "knocked" a ladder with one of its propellers. He said that the pilot was
not "observant about his surroundings." The airplane had white "house letters" painted on its
side similar to those on fighter or Air Force aircraft. The house letters had "pilot" followed by a
name, which he could not remember seeing, and "copilot" followed by "God."
The FBO employee at FLG stated that, after the airplane was fueled, it taxied past the FLG ATC
tower without making any radio communications with ATC. The airplane taxied onto a runway
while an "air shuttle" was landing, and the air shuttle (SkyWest 2992) had to abort its landing.
The pilot then turned the radio on and taxied off the runway and onto a taxiway near the air
carrier ramp.
Wow.
