Incident Overview
A pilot reported that shortly after takeoff, he executed a steep left turn to avoid other aircraft in the vicinity. During the maneuver, the pilot allowed the airspeed to decrease, leading to an aerodynamic stall. The pilot estimated the altitude at the time of the stall to be approximately 100 feet above ground level while in the steep left turn. Subsequently, the airplane struck the ground in a nose-low attitude.
Post-Accident Examination
An on-scene examination of the airplane revealed no binding, crimping, or other restrictions to flight control movement aft of the cockpit. The control systems were found to be free of mechanical anomalies that could have contributed to the loss of control.
Pilot Statement
The pilot explicitly stated that "he allowed the airplane to get slow and stall," indicating that the stall was a result of his actions during the avoidance maneuver.
