## Sequence of events

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

- Airframe/component/system failure/malfunction, taxi
  - flt control syst,wing flap control - failure,partial (cause)
  - flt control syst,wing flap control - false indication (contributing factor)
- Forced landing, descent - emergency
  - lowering of flaps - not corrected, pilot in command (cause)
  - weather condition - high density altitude (contributing factor)
  - airspeed(vlof) - not attained, pilot in command (contributing factor)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - high terrain (contributing factor)
  - terrain condition - soft (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE PILOT SELECTED 10 DEGREES OF FLAP FOR TAKEOFF WITH THE AIRCRAFT LOADED TO NEAR LIMITS FOR EXISTING CONDITIONS. THE AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE IN GROUND EFFECT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO FLYING SPEED, NECESSITATING A FORCED LANDING IN A SOYBEAN FIELD. POST-LANDING INVESTIGATION SHOWED THE FLAP SELECTOR IN THE 10 DEGREE DETENT BUT THE FLAPS FULL DOWN AT 40 DEGREES.

## Other investigations on N1386V (1)

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.

- [NTSB DFW08CA085](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DFW08CA085), Mar 21, 2008: Cessna 206 (N1386V), Peyton, CO, substantial damage. Probable cause: The loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion as a result of the pilot's inadequate preflight planning.
