Read the full NTSB narrative

WHILE ENROUTE AT 6,000 FEET, 46 MILES FROM HIS DESTINATION, THE PILOT CONTACTED THE FAA MIAMI FLIGHT SERVICE STATION AND RECEIVED THE CURRENT WEATHER RADAR DATA FOR HIS DESTINATION. THE PILOT THEN REPORTED HE HAD AN EMERGENCY. WHEN THE CONTROLLER REQUESTED THE NATURE OF THE EMERGENCY, THE PILOT STATED FIRE ONBOARD. NO FURTHER TRANSMISSIONS WERE RECEIVED FROM THE PILOT AND ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE PILOT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. DEBRIS FROM THE AIRCRAFT WAS LOCATED FLOATING ON THE OCEAN. NONE OF THE DEBRIS HAD FIRE DAMAGE. THE MAIN WRECKAGE WAS NOT LOCATED AND RECOVERED.
