## Probable cause

THE PILOT'S PREMATURE ROTATION AND FAILURE TO OBTAIN AIRSPEED.

## 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
  - weather condition - gusts
  - rotation - premature, pilot in command (cause)
  - airspeed - not obtained, pilot in command (cause)
  - stall/mush - inadvertent, pilot in command
- In flight collision with terrain/water, descent - uncontrolled
  - object - tree(s)

## Analysis

THE NON CERTIFICATED PILOT ATTEMPTED TO TAKEOFF USING AN ESTIMATED 2000 FEET OF A 2500 FOOT ALFALPA FIELD. AIRPLANE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF AND CRASHED INTO TREES.
