Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Parker, Colorado 80134
Saturday, April 23, 2011 15:30 MDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
***This report was modified on June 10, 2013. Please see the docket for this accident to view the original report.***
A video of the accident showed the airplane took off and assumed an excessively steep angle of climb, before leveling off and appearing motionless; a witness stated the airplane was about 150 to 200 feet above the ground. The right wing then dropped and the airplane spun to the ground. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed no mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. High, gusty wind prevailed at the time of the accident.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The pilot’s excessive and unsafe maneuvering during gusty wind conditions, which resulted in an inadvertent stall-spin.
