DENVER—Investigators say a microburst was the likely cause of a Colorado plane crash that killed a pilot who ran a business taking aerial photos of real estate.
The June 29 crash killed 41-year-old Salil Sinha of Marshfield, Wis. His single-engine Cessna R182 was flying low over the north Denver suburb of Thornton when it crashed into a field.
The pilot was the only person aboard.
A National Transportation Safety Board report dated Thursday says inadequate preflight planning by Sinha was a contributing factor.
Forecasters had warned of possible wind shear, microbursts and strong gusts at the time of the crash.
