## Narrative

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

(-23) BLOCK 31 IN INCOMPLETE BECAUSE ENOUGH PILOT RECORD INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO DETERMINE ACCURATE DATE FOR REGULATORY CHECK RIDE. MR. JOHNSON WAS TESTING HIS HOMEBUILT AIRCRAFT AND CRASHED IN TREES APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET FOLLOWING TAKE OFF. MR. JOHNSON STATED THAT THE PROPELLER WAS NOT PITCHED PROPERLY AND THE ENGINE TENDS TO LOSE POWER IN THIS CONDITION. HE COULD NOT CLIMB SUFFICIENTLY TO CLEAR THE TREES. THE AIRCRAFT IS NOT REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED. MR. JOHNSON IS NOR CURRENT FOR A FLIGHT REVIEW. HE IS CURRENTLY RECEIVING FLIGHT INSTRUCTION, BUT WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT, ON THIS FLIGHT. MR. JOHNSON DOES NOT HOLD A CURRENT MEDICAL. AIRMAN RECORDS VERIFIED THAT NO MEDICAL RECORD ON FILE.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
