  > The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed following a partial loss of engine power after takeoff for undetermined reasons, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and an aerodynamic stall at a low altitude.
- [NTSB CEN17LA238](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN17LA238.md): Aeronca 7BCM · Mahnomen, MN · Accident · Serious injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Jun 21, 2017 · N2558E · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s failure to abort the takeoff after recognizing a partial loss of engine power during the takeoff roll and his subsequent inability to maintain adequate airspeed during a turn to avoid power lines, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. The…
- [NTSB GAA16CA292](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA16CA292.md): Aeronca 7BCM · Rochester, WI · Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report · Jun 8, 2016 · N1127N · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing, which resulted in a runway excursion, left main landing gear collapse, and a nose down. Contributing to the accident was the wind shift.
- [NTSB GAA16CA082](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA16CA082.md): Aeronca 7BCM · Reidsville, NC · Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report · Dec 13, 2015 · N1316V · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's loss of pitch control while maneuvering at low altitude, which resulted in a collision with terrain, a left main landing gear collapse, and runway excursion.
- [NTSB GAA15CA201](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA15CA201.md): Aeronca 7BCM · Warsaw, MO · Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report · Jul 23, 2015 · N81686 · Substantial damage
