- [NTSB ERA25LA176](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA25LA176.md): Cessna 150 · Kingston, OH · Accident · Serious injuries · Class 4 · Limited · Final report · Apr 13, 2025 · N6653F · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s exceedance of the airplanes’ critical angle of attack resulting in a stall at an altitude too low to recover.
- [NTSB CEN25LA147](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN25LA147.md): Cessna 150F · Zeeland, MI · Accident · No injuries · Class 4 · Limited · Final report · Apr 8, 2025 · N6561F · Substantial damage
  > The flight instructor’s failure to maintain control of the airplane during the go-around which led to the airplane exceeding its critical angle-of-attack and entering an aerodynamic stall at a low altitude. Contributing to the accident was the flight…
- [NTSB WPR18FA244](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR18FA244.md): Cessna 150 · Redding, CA · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Aug 29, 2018 · N7990F · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack during the initial climb after takeoff, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and loss of control. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's failure to properly configure the wing flaps for…
- [NTSB GAA18CA300](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA18CA300.md): Cessna 150 · Killeen, TX · Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report · May 17, 2018 · N7750F · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed and his exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during a maximum performance takeoff, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. Also causal was the pilot’s failure to use the appropriate flap…
- [NTSB ERA17LA015](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA17LA015.md): Cessna 150 · Stockbridge, GA · Accident · Serious injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Oct 16, 2016 · N7948F · Substantial damage
  > A partial loss of engine power due to a stuck exhaust valve and the pilot's exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
- [NTSB CEN13FA045](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN13FA045.md): Cessna 150F · Gothenburg, NE · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Nov 4, 2012 · N8375G · Substantial damage
  > The student pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed on final approach, which resulted in an inadvertent aerodynamic stall and subsequent impact with terrain.
