N2  - This paper presents results from the reconstruction of the crash of a twin-engine, low-wing airplane on final approach. These results are used to demonstrate the reverse projection method for documenting physical evidence and the kinematic method for calculating aircraft acceleration. The documentation of evidence and the calculation of acceleration, previously shown using airplane test data, are now shown using airplane accident data. The use of reverse projection to complete the documentation of physical evidence that was not preserved is discussed.<p />
