I can’t find any information as to how the plane crashed. Whether he was taking off or landing or what so if anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.
Early reports are saying after takeoff the aircraft experienced engine problems, attempting to return to the airport the plane crashed.

If you watch the news report linked you will get your answer.
I heard that he took off and was in the air for about 26 minutes doing a lot of circles. Then he came back and tried to land when the crash occurred.
It’s all over the web.
The plane was based in Statesville if I remember right, so he would probably be departing (supposedly to Sarasota to do something with Youtuber Cleetus McFarland) but I guess they were returning to the field and crashed on landing.

It looks like the weather was poor too - unknown if that was a factor.
Something happened after takeoff and they were trying to return to the airport, crashed short of the runway, and slid into the airfield. The flight was only 4 minutes long. RIP.
LEFT AIRPORT & CIRCLED BACK & CRASHED
....”Authorities say the Cessna C550 crashed while landing at Statesville Regional Airport, about 45 miles north of Charlotte......” from another post.....sad, very sad....as a former private pilot myself, landings can be tricky at times, and can and do cause fatalities...... prayers out for all....
I believe landing, with the wife having texted her mother that they were “in trouble”.
But I also believe three other people were killed by the famous person’s “trouble”—and I haven’t seen them named or remembered at all.
