This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.

On December 4, 2003, at 1940 eastern standard time, a Beech B200 King Air, N85BK, registered to Eagle Air Holding LLC, Wilmington, Delaware, and operated by Southeastern Air Charter, Inc, collided with trees and subsequently the ground while on a localizer approach to runway 32, at the Newnan Coweta County Airport, near Morlan, Georgia. The repositioning flight was being operated under the provisions of Title 14 CFR Part 91, and instrument flight rules (IFR). Instrument Meteorological conditions prevailed and an IFR flight plan was filed. The commercially rated pilot and the airline transport rated pilot received fatal injuries and the airplane was destroyed and there was t post-crash fire. The flight originated in Douglas, Georgia on December 4, 2003, at an undetermined time.

Witnesses at the Newnan-Coweta Airport stated that they heard the pilot of N85BK, announce over the Unicom frequency that they were 10 miles out and on approach to runway 32. The witnesses stated that they looked at the weather computer and saw that the ceiling was down to 150 to 200 feet and they were wondering, "who was attempting to land at the time". They said they never heard any other radio calls from the accident airplane. Residents in the local area telephoned the 911-operator and reported what they believed to have been an airplane crash. The airplane wreckage was located one mile south of runway 32.

On-scene examination of the wreckage site revealed that numerous trees in a densely wooded area were broken and the airplane rested on a 320 degrees magnetic, heading, one mile short of the runway. From the first broken tree the fuselage was about 350 feet. Both wings and horizontal stabilizers were separated from the airframe found along the wreckage path. The fuselage was fire damaged. On December 6, 2003, the airplane was recovered and moved to Atlanta Air Recovery in Griffin, Georgia for further examination.
