THE AIRPLANE WAS RECEIVING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION WHEN IT WAS RETURNED TO FLIGHT STATUS FOR A CHARTER FLIGHT, WITHOUT A MAINTENANCE RELEASE OR LOG BOOK SIGN OFF ON THE MAINTENANCE RECEIVED. WITNESSES SAW THE AIRPLANE DEPART WITH BOTH ENGINES OPERATING NORMALLY, AND THEN THE AIRPLANE TURNED AND ROLLED RIGHT, AND DESCENDED. IT IMPACTED THE GROUND, AND BURNED. THE LANDING GEAR AND WING FLAPS WERE RETRACTED, THE COCKPIT WAS DESTROYED, AND BOTH ENGINES RECEIVED FIRE DAMAGE. THE RIGHT PROPELLER WAS FOUND FEATHERED; HOWEVER, NO IDENTIFIABLE PROBLEM WAS FOUND WITH THE ENGINE. THE COMPANY DID NOT HAVE AN AIR-TAXI CERTIFICATE, AND THE PILOT HELD A PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE. CAUSE: The failure of the pilot to maintain airspeed, after the right engine lost power, which resulted in an uncontrolled descent and collision with the ground.
