What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On may 17, 2018, ^Mr. David f. kendall^ departed from Skylark Field in Cessna 150 N7750F, at approximately 1100L, using a maximum-performance takeoff for proficiency purposes. ^Mr. Kendall^ stated he first pitched up to vx for a few seconds to simulate an obstacle and then proceeded to lower the nose to accelerate to vy. According to ^Mr. Kendall^, the aircraft did not continue to climb but instead showed a descent. ^Mr. Kendall's^ reaction was to increase the pitch slightly to gain altitude. At this point, ^Mr. Kendall^ triggered the stall horn. ^Mr. Kendall^, believing he was not going to be able to remain airborne, lowered the nose to a level attitude just before the aircraft came back down to the runway. The aircraft experienced significant damage to the right wing and horizontal stabilizer. There were no injuries.
