## 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
  - lowering of flaps - excessive, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - airspeed - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - stall - inadvertent, pilot in command (cause)
- In flight collision with terrain/water, descent - uncontrolled

## Analysis

DURING THE TAKEOFF CLIMB AT AN ALTITUDE OF APRX 100 AGL, THE ACFT ENTERED A RIGHT DIVING TURN. IT IMPACTED THE GROUND AND CAME TO REST IN A WOODED AREA TO THE RIGHT OF THE RWY DEPARTURE END. THE PLT STATED THE ENGINE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE ACFT IS EQUIPT WITH A STOL CONVERSION. THE PLT REPORTED 20 DEGREES OF FLAPS WERE USED FOR TAKEOFF. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT AFTER THE ACCIDENT REVEALED THAT THE FLAP ACTUATOR HANDLE WAS IN THE FULL DOWN POSITION. THE FLAPS WERE FOUND TO BE EXTENDED 35 DEGREES.
