## Narrative

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

THE EYE WITNESS STATED THAT N8080S DEPARTED RUNWAY 33 AT S39 IN A STEEP CLIMB ATTITUDE.  THE RV-9A STALLED AT APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL AND SPUN TO THE RIGHT.  IT IMPACTED THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY TO RUNWAY 10/28 AND BURNED. THE PILOT IN COMMAND WAS FATALLY INJURED.

## 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.
