## Narrative

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

DURING A PERSONAL FLIGHT, THE STUDENT RATED PILOT, WITH A PASSENGER, ATTEMPTED A TAKEOFF FROM A PRIVATE GRASS AIRSTRIP THAT WAS 2,000 FT IN LENGTH. THE RUNWAY HAD AN UPWARD SLOPE DURING ITS INITIAL 1,000 FT WITH THE STEEPEST SLOPE OCCURRING DURING ITS INITIAL 700 FT. A WITNESS STATED THAT THE ENGINE SOUNDED NORMAL AND THE AIRPLANE’S ACCELERATION WAS SLOW DURING ITS UPHILL TAKEOFF ROLL. THE AIRPLANE LIFTED OFF ABOUT 900 FT DOWN THE RUNWAY AND ENTERED A NOSE-HIGH ATTITUDE FOLLOWED BY WHAT APPEARED TO BE AN AERODYNAMIC STALL. THE AIRPLANE DESCENDED, IMPACTED TERRAIN, AND WAS DESTROYED.

## 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 student pilot’s failure to attain a proper airspeed and climb attitude during takeoff, which led to the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall.…
