## Sequence of events

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

- Loss of control - in flight, maneuvering
  - airspeed - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - stall - inadvertent, pilot in command (cause)
- Altitude deviation,uncontrolled, descent - uncontrolled
- In flight collision with terrain/water, maneuvering
  - pull-up - initiated, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - altitude - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)
- Nose over, maneuvering

## Analysis

THE ACFT WAS CIRCLING A FIELD AT ABOUT 400 TO 500 FT AGL IN AT LEAST A 40 DEGREE BANK WHEN IT STALLED. THE PILOT ADDED POWER AND LOWERED THE NOSE, AS THE ACFT WAS RECOVERING FROM THE STALL IT IMPACTED THE GROUND AND NOSED OVER.

## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19840505015889A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19840505015889A), May 5, 1984: Cessna 150H, Boyd, MN, Destroyed. Stalled while circling a farm at 500 ft AGL. Recovered from stall seconds prior to ground impact.

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.
