New details in deadly Fort Worth plane crash

The NTSB has released new details on a small plane crash in Fort Worth. 

A newly released report from the National Transportation Safety Board shows a small airplane flew for only about one minute before it crashed into power lines near Haslet earlier this month, killing the pilot.

What we know:

On Oct. 7, a Lancair IV-P airplane took off from Hicks Airfield in Fort Worth around 9:51 a.m., according to the NTSB.

Flight tracking data shows the airplane climbed to 875 feet and made a left turn. The aircraft then climbed to 1,000 feet and slowed to a ground speed of 84 knots before it descended.

At 9:52 a.m., the plane hit power lines along the south side of a roadway. 

The pilot, 67-year-old John Unangst, died in the crash. Officials confirmed no one else was on board the aircraft.

A post-impact fire burned nearby grass and consumed the majority of the plane, including the fuselage, wings, and engine. 

What's next:

The National Transportation Safety Board will continue to review the flight data and wreckage before releasing a final report on the cause of the crash.

A final report on the crash is expected in 12 to 24 months.
