The pilot, who was the only passenger on the fatal plane, reported a flight malfunction before his plane went down in a wooded area.

Final words of the pilot

Moments before all communications were lost, the pilot asked the air traffic controller to tell his parents that he loved them.

The plane was sold on October 31 to 21-year-old Adrian James Valentine of Melrose, who obtained his pilot’s license in May 2021, said the plane’s previous owner, David Nichols.

But authorities have not publicly confirmed the identity of the pilot.

Visibility was poor at the time of the accident due to the weather, as the plane rose to an altitude of 6,800 feet and made several sharp turns before crashing.

Several residents in Micanopy reported hearing a plane lose altitude and then a loud crash.

Rescue crews found the plane’s wreckage in Paynes Prairie State Park around 5:15 p.m. local time, and the pilot was pronounced dead at the scene.
