## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 10, 2021, AT APPROXIMATELY 2028 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME (EDT), A CESSNA CE-150H, N22658 (DE-REGISTERED), CRASHED IN A BEAN FIELD APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF MUNCIE, INDIANA.  THE NON-RATED PILOT, THE SOLE OCCUPANT, SUFFERED SERIOUS INJURIES WHEN THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE GROUND.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS OPERATED BY THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 14 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 91.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED.  THE FLIGHT DEPARTED FROM AN UNIMPROVED GRASS STRIP IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.

A WITNESS DISCUSSED THE HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE (HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HIGH HUMIDITY) WITH THE PILOT PRIOR TO THE TAKEOFF AND ASKED HIM NOT TO FLY.  SHORTLY AFTER THE AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE, THE WITNESS SAW THE AIRCRAFT STALL, THEN SPIN, STRIKING THE MUDDY FIELD WITH THE LEFT WINGTIP. THE AIRCRAFT CARTWHEELED AND THE PILOT WAS PARTIALLY EJECTED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. A REVIEW OF THE WEATHER DID CONFIRM A HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH.

## 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.
