## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOTS STATED THE TAKEOFF WAS NORMAL UNTIL THE AIRCRAFT WAS JUST OUT OF GROUND EFFECT.  WHEN OUT OF GROUND EFFECT, HE COULD NO LONGER CONTROL THE AIRCRAFT.  THE AIRCRAFT STALLED.  THE LEFT WING STRUCK THE GROUND FIRST, THEN THE NOSE.

## 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 pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during initial climb, which resulted in a loss of adequate airspeed and a subsequent aerodynamic stall.
