PURCHASE, N.Y – A son of the oldest living member of the Rockefeller family died Friday after the small plane he was piloting crashed into a neighborhood near Westchester County Airport.

Richard Rockefeller, 64, of Falmouth, Maine,
ate dinner the night before with his father, David Rockefeller, to
celebrate the scion’s 99th birthday, said family spokesman Fraser
Seitel, who confirmed the death. The family’s estate is in Pocantico
Hills, N.Y., along the Hudson River.

“It’s a terrible tragedy,” Seitel said. “The
family is in shock. Richard was a wonderful and cherished member of the
family. He was an experienced pilot. He was a medical doctor, and it’s
horribly sad.”

The plane, a Piper Meridian single-engine
turbo prop registered to Richard Rockefeller, left the White Plains,
N.Y., airport about 8 a.m. ET and was reported down within 10 minutes in
a residential area less than 3 miles away in Purchase, about 30 miles
north of New York City, said Peter Scherrer, airport operations
administrator. The weather at the time of takeoff was foggy and rainy.

The plane was scheduled to fly to Portland,
Maine, and the flight was expected to last an hour and 14 minutes.
Richard Rockefeller had flown to this area Thursday, according to
FlightAware flight tracking service, leaving Portland International
Jetport at 2:22 p.m. and arriving at Westchester County Airport at 3:41
p.m.

Richard Rockefeller flew out of the airport
regularly, Scherrer said. No other injuries were reported and no one
else was on the plane.

Weather could have contributed to the crash, pilots said.

Friday morning’s low cloud ceiling would have
made recovery from a problem difficult, said Rocco Cipriano, a board
member of the Westchester Aviation Association. Procedures at
Westchester County Airport require aircraft taking off from Runway 16 to
climb 800 feet and turn right.

Judging from the wreckage, the plane appeared
to have followed those procedures, said Scherrer, who indicated that
Richard Rockefeller had not issued a “mayday” or radioed with any kind
of problem.

Cipriano called the weather conditions less than ideal.

“If that engine quit and you’re 1,000 feet in
the air and you look out, you know what you’re seeing? Nothing. You’re
seeing nothing but white,” he said.

Wreckage from the plane was spread over
several hundred feet and jet fuel was splattered over much of the crash
site, said Harrison, N.Y.,’s fire chief, Anthony Marraccini.

“It was lucky there was no fire,” he said. “There are some very large pine trees that could have ignited very easily.”

A Piper Meridian is about 30 feet long, about
11 feet high with a 43-foot wingspan and carries 170 gallons of fuel.
It costs at least $2.2 million and seats six, including the pilot.

In 2012, the most recent year available,
general aviation aircraft, which includes all flights except passenger
airlines, were involved in 1,471 accidents; 271 were fatal and 432
people were killed, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. That was a rate of almost 2 fatalities and 6.8 accidents per 100,000 flying hours.

Commercial scheduled airlines are far safer;
they had 27 accidents in 2012 but no fatalities, an accident rate almost
44 times lower than general aviation, the agency’s numbers show.

Representatives of the Federal Aviation
Administration and the NTSB will lead the crash investigation,
Westchester County officials said. Flights resumed at the White Plains
airport about an hour after the crash.

Richard Rockefeller was a family physician in
Falmouth until 2000 and had worked on global health issues. He served
as president of the nonprofit Health Commons Institute and chairman of
the U.S. Advisory Board of Doctors Without Borders, according to the
Rockefeller Brothers Trust Fund website.

He was a great grandson of oilman John D.
Rockefeller, who helped found Standard Oil in 1870. His father, David
Rockefeller, is John D. Rockefeller’s last surviving grandson, and he is
David Rockefeller’s youngest son.

Richard Rockefeller’s wife, two adult children, a brother and four sisters survive him.
