THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE HAD JUST CLEARED POWER LINES WHEN THE AIRCRAFT STARTED LOSING AIR SPEED. HE SAID THERE WAS A NORTHEAST WIND AND HE WAS NEAR A HILLSIDE WHEN THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED INTO A MOUND (OUT CROPPING OF ROCKS).

## 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.
