Somatogravic: All Was Well for a Pilot, and Then It Suddenly Wasn’t

Flying Magazine

There was an overcast at 1,300 agl (1,850 msl), but no precipitation and good visibility below the clouds. About two minutes after takeoff, it was at 2,900 msl with a heading of 090 and a ground speed of 200 knots, but the pilot had yet to check in with Nashville. It was in a 120-degree left bank when it hit the water at 350 knots.
