The pilot continued, however. About 10:11, airplane control was transferred to the right-seat passenger, at an altitude of about 4,500 feet msl. At 10:14, the rear passenger made a query to the pilot regarding power to the "alternator." The pilot made a comment indicating that was the "problem;" however, did not specify what the "problem" was or what actions were taken to correct it.

After the plane aligned with the runway, the airplane continued to descend to 942 feet msl until the CVR audio and GPS data ended at 10:15:23. read more
