The plane crash that killed three members of the gospel group, The Nelons, was a result of an autopilot issue.
A single-engine Pilatus PC-12/47E turboprop airplane, which crashed on July 27 afternoon in northeast Wyoming, killing all seven onboard, had an autopilot malfunction, according to national authorities.
National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway said in a statement that preliminary information showed the plane went down after reporting an “autopilot issue during flight.”

Among those killed were three members of The Nelons: co-founder Kelly Nelon Clark, her husband Jason Clark, and her daughter Amber Nelon Kistler.
The other victims were Nathan Kistler, Melodi Hodges and Larry and Melissa Haynie.
