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 acft crashed after stalling during the initial climb after takeoff. The plt had called on the radio to say he was 'going to come back around.' When asked by the tower if he wwas declaring an emergency he did not answer. The acft reportedly was making a nose high left turn when the acft nosed over and down to the right. The right wing struck the ground first. A test plt for the acft said the right wing would drop quickly in a stall.
