3 killed as PA 32 crashes into house
USA..possibly Mississippi.
A PA 32 with three licensed pilots aboard crashed into a house, killing all three aboard the plane. The plane was enroute to a FAA conference with reports of ''sputtering'' shortly after takeoff. Reports of request to turn back to the airport heard on tower frequency.

with an engine running, rough...I would turn towards the airport...if the engine had quit I would approach my preselected emergency landing area.
simulator tests showed that the ''sully'' scenario, if done quickly, a turn to LGA would have made runway 13.

PA32
as I recall the PA32 embraces a number of pipers
the T tail turbo LANCE is the most demanding GA single I've ever flown...
however the low tail lance , saratoga, cherokee six and the like are very pleaseant and with only three people likely to glide pretty well.
but we don't really know which version crashed
I did hear that the plane had not been flown in one month's time...fuel contamination/water???

Sad loss to all families.
The PA32 variant is a pussycat if loaded correctly. This accident is obviously power plant related.
As sevenstrokeroll says, the Piper Turbo Lance II is a demanding aircraft. Some say its a real pilots aeroplane and you most certainly have to be a step ahead of it.
