That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N860CA's record changes.
The pilot of the airplane reported that the airplane was too high during approach to the airport, and he responded by reducing the engine power to idle. When the airplane was about 40 ft above the runway, the “airspeed” aural caution sounded, and the pilot added engine power; however, the airspeed continued to decay, and the “stall” aural warning sounded. The airplane subsequently rolled left, impacted terrain alongside the left side of the runway, caught fire, and slid into the airport apron. The pilot and passengers were able to exit the airplane through the main cabin door before the airplane was destroyed by postaccident fire.
The pilot reported there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
