As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

STALLED AND SPUN IN, PILOT COMPETENCE IN QUESTION.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

Probable cause: The failure of the pilot to maintain airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall, and uncontrolled collision with the ground. A factor was pilot's lack of total experience in this make and model.
