Probable cause
Inadvertent stall during initial climb following takeoff.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The aircraft was departing on a cross country flight from an airport at 6,000 feet above sea level. The density altitude was 9,000 feet and the aircraft was estimated to be at or near maximum gross weight. The runway sloped up and the terrain off the end of the runway sloped up. The aircraft became airborne, climbed to approximately 50 feet and then settled. The pilot estimated that the aircraft stalled at approximately 35 feet and impacted off the end of the runway.
