According to the NTSB, the owner of the single-seat EA-330 and other pilots, including 46-year-old Warren Cilliers, met on the morning of Nov. 8 to practice aerobatic routines for an upcoming competition.The owner flew the plane first from St. Augustine to Keystone Heights to practice his routine. He did not report any issues on his flight, the NTSB report said.

He then climbed to about 3,500 feet MSL . Cilliers re-entered the aerobatic box and performed the first three maneuvers “very precisely,” according to the owner who was watching the flight. Cilliers went to prepare the plane for the next move, which was a controlled, upside-down spin. The report said the plane entered an inverted spin but did not stop at the expected position. The owner told investigators that he witnessed the “airplane another ½ -turn, before the pilot was able to stop the turn with the nose of the airplane pointed nose down about 30 degrees.” The pilot appeared to gain control after six rotations, according to the owner, but was too low to fully recover.Airport surveillance footage also captured the sounds of the plane’s engine using full power before the crash was caught on camera.She's navigating the digital world of journalism one story — and interview — at a time.
