put 250# in the rear seat while loading the front 2 and middle 2 will put you way after - and even outside - the rear CG range on the airplane. 6 people reported in the airplane - I'm thinking overloaded and with a rear CG - lost control right after rotation.

Per the pilots social media, earned Private rating just a short time ago and only recently purchased the aircraft. Registration Pending per FAA. Social media video of them boarding showed a "party atmosphere", I would imagination a lot of distractions at a crucial moment. I'm just basing this on what I saw, not criticizing.

I own a Comanche 260C. Just like this airplane. I can only imagine where the W&B ended up on this flight

Heard 50 seconds of audio between pilot and ground control. Radio was somewhat distorted but he seemed somewhat confused based on his exchanges with the controller.

Also apparently 3 years overdue on the annual.

I don't see that reported anywhere - I see where perhaps the aircraft paperwork on transfer was not completed - but there is no way to tell whether the aircraft is out of annual without seeing the log books

Sorry to hear of this crash. The last I knew, a PA-24 is a four-seater, NOT a six seater. If they had four people in the back seat, or two in the back and (God forbid) two in the luggage area, that plane was a) overloaded; and b) VERY tail heavy. That would explain the trajectory immediately. If that's what happened, shame on the pilot for taking off in this dynamic. He won't do it again.

A 260B or C model can have 6 seats.

Thanks for the heads-up. Although it COULD, should it? I'll mark my calendar to check the NTSB on this one. My guess is that the report will come back "grossly overloaded and out of CG envelope-aft of limits

Maybe you should read the other comments.

The B and C model have 6 seats in the TC.

One of the victims was a young model Mariah Coogan - here is her Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/mariahsunshiinee/?hl=en

Rather inappropriate and disrespectful post. This has what bearing on the cause of the crash? I could have posted social media links to 4 of the victims but is it really necessary?

Thanks! I couldn't agree more.
