Eyewitnesses said the plane, carrying the four friends headed for a day of golf on Cape Cod, appeared to be wobbly early on. "He was struggling as soon as he got off the ground," said Roland Daignault, a pilot from Westport who also flies Cessnas and who was at the airport Saturday.

"My first thought was, 'This guy is in he said by phone yesterday. Fully loaded with fuel, passengers, and cargo, a four-seat Cessna weighs between 2,300 and 2,400 pounds. Records indicate that in addition to the four men, the plane carried at least two golf bags and some miscellaneous items, Alleyne said. The plane left Twin Cities Air Service in Auburn, Maine, where it had been rented. It was "topped off" with a full tank of 47 gallons of gas, but did not refuel before taking off again in Mansfield, he said.

As part of their inquiry, investigators are examining whether the Cessna 172 might have been overloaded, but Alleyne said it was too early to speculate on what might have caused the crash. It will probably take about six months to pinpoint the precise cause of the accident, he said. Kay Lazar can be reached at klazarglobe.com. 24 Hr. Precipitation (valid at 7 p.m.

The Turnpike Authority's current plan is to open the ramp only for taxis and buses, but authority officials said they may consider opening the ramp to the public at some point. At first, Turnpike Authority officials said, State Police details will patrol the site to catch violators.

"It's public property. It should be open to the public," said Mary Connaughton, a Turnpike Authority board member. Richard Dimino, president of A Better City, a group that monitors the Big Dig and other transportation projects, said Turnpike Authority officials should make sure the toll is not so expensive it discourages drivers from using the ramp. "We want companies and drivers to see this as a benefit; we don't want to do anything to deter its use," he said. By Kay Lazar GLOBE STAFF MANSFIELD Moments after crews hauled a mangled single-engine Cessna from the end of a runway, an investigator said at a press conference yesterday that video footage of its fatal crash Saturday at Mansfield Municipal Airport shows that the aircraft climbed nearly 150 feet before turning abruptly to the left and stalling.

"The reason why he stalled, I'm not sure," said Eric Alleyne, a National Transportation Safety Board air safety specialist. The pilot, Lawrence Mann, had declared a mayday and radioed that he was turning back to the airport because he did not think he could clear the trees at the end of the runway, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said Saturday. Killed in the crash were Mann and his front-seat passenger, Cabot Squire, both of Portland, Maine. Mann's brother-in-law, Matthew Kramer of Mansfield, was critically injured and was in surgery last night at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, said Kevin Myron, a hospital spokesman. A fourth passenger, Jared La-mey of Saco, Maine, was listed in serious condition yesterday at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, a spokesman said.

Lamey, Mann, and Squire had new ramp, travelers will be able to commute west on the turnpike, turn around in Allston, head back downtown, and get off in South Boston or the airport. During the 2004 Democratic National Convention, delegates were allowed to make a U-turn in Allston, with the help of state troopers. "It proved this was a flawless way to decrease congestion and traffic impact coming from the Seaport District to Back Bay hotels," said Patrick Moscaritolo, president of the Greater Boston Convention Visitors Bureau, who predicted the ramp will have a "net positive impact on moving convention delegates back to their hotels quickly and seamlessly." With the opening that year of the Boston Convention Exhibition Center on the South Boston waterfront, the need for such a ramp dramatically increased, officials said. The route, though indirect, will cut travel time, reduce downtown traffic, and eliminate emissions from idling buses, Turnpike Authority and city officials said. "Every bus, every truck, every taxi that can be on the highway sooner is one less burden on the citizens and visitors to the city," said Jim Gillooly, deputy commissioner for the Boston Transporta- RAMP Continuedfrom PageAl The Turnpike Authority is expected to propose new tolls later this month, then hold public hearings before implementing the increases Jan.

1. Construction of the $1.8 million ramp which will be open only to taxis and buses, at least at first stalled after the fatal Big Dig tunnel ceiling collapse last summer and after soil problems were discovered at the site. Construction was completed this month, officials said. All that remains is for the electronic toll system to be installed and lanes painted, officials said. Business leaders and tourism officials said they welcome the ramp, even if it is opening more than a year later than scheduled.

"The sooner the better," said Meg Mainzer-Cohen, president of the Back Bay Association, which represents Back Bay businesses. "Anything that's going to make traveling between Back Bay and South Boston easier is a benefit we support." For years, city transportation and tourism officials called for the U-turn ramp as a relatively easy way to give visitors staying in Back Bay hotels easy access to the turnpike. Currently, there are no east-bound onramps or westbound exits in downtown Boston. With the 14 MILE SOURCE: Massachusetts Turnpike Authority tion Department. But even when the ramp opens, it is unclear whether all of the city's taxi drivers will take advantage of it.

The ramp will accommodate electronic tolls only and while all of Boston's 1,825 taxicabs are now outfitted with Fast Lane electronic toll transponders, many drivers still resist using them. Some don't want to pay a monthly bill; others think their customers would prefer seeing them pay a cash toll, drivers said. In addition, some cab operators are bristling at the idea of traveling miles out of the way to arrive at their destination. "It's a scam, said Larry Meis-ter, a member of the Independent Taxi Operators Association. "I figure the fare will be about $10 or $12 more, plus the extra toll.

I don't think it's good for business. They're doing it to keep traffic off city streets, but it's not a significant time savings. At least give us.
