## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - in flight, takeoff - initial climb
  - airspeed - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - stall - inadvertent, pilot in command (cause)
- In flight collision with terrain/water, descent - uncontrolled

## Analysis

JUST AFTER TAKEOFF, THE AIRCRAFT LOST ALTITUDE AND CRASHED BEYOND THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT STATED THAT JUST AFTER TAKEOFF, THE STALL WARNING WAS HEARD. ALSO, HE REPORTED THAT WHEN THE AIRCRAFT REACHED AN ALTITUDE OF ABOUT 60 FT AGL, THERE WAS A LOSS OF PERFORMANCE, THEN THE AIRCRAFT ACTED ALMOST LIKE THERE WAS A SUDDEN DOWNDRAFT. A WITNESS OBSERVED THE AIRCRAFT IN A NOSE HIGH ATTITUDE BEFORE IT LOST ALTITUDE AND CRASHED. AN INSPECTION REVEALED NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE OF ENGINE.

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.
