About 1230 c.d.t., on July 2, 1981, a Universal Airways, Inc. Beech 65-A80, N100UV, crashed into an open, level field about 7 nautical miles east southeast of Madisonville, Texas. Witnesses heard a small explosion and saw the aircraft descend from a dark cloud; the wings and the empennage were not attached during the observed portion of the aircraft's descent. The pilot and the two passengers were killed. The aircraft was destroyed. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was a pilot induced airframe overload following loss of aircraft control which resulted in the structural breakup of the aircraft. The reason(s) for the loss of aircraft control could not be determined. Contributing to the loss of control was the pilot's lack of instrument proficiency in multiengine aircraft.
