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
Two acft departed in trail intending to follow a river through the mountainous terrain in their climb above the ridge line. The first acft proceeded as planned along the river and turned toward the dest at a safe alt. About 1/4 of a mile behind, the second acft radioed the first that they were turning up a 'different canyon.' The acft was unable to climb rapidly enough to clear the rising terrain and stalled attempting to turn back. Elevation at the point of departure and the accident site was 4,701 and 6,200 ft respectively. All 4 occupants were rated pilots. Post crash fire consumed most of the wreckage.
