  > The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed while maneuvering in high density altitude conditions over mountainous terrain, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall.
- [NTSB GAA15CA288](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA15CA288.md): Cessna 305F · Bentonville, AR · Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report · Sep 27, 2015 · N119BD · Substantial damage
