Incident Overview
A commercial pilot with approximately 1,500 hours of flight experience was practicing slow flight operations at an altitude of 400 to 500 feet above ground level when control of the aircraft was lost. The pilot was unable to regain controlled flight.
Pilot Account
During a subsequent interview with an FAA inspector, the pilot stated that he attempted both power-on and power-off recovery techniques to address the situation. However, he reported being unable to overcome the nose-high attitude that developed. The specific maneuvers or conditions leading to the loss of control were not detailed.
Investigation Efforts
An investigator from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) attempted to obtain a completed Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2) from the pilot, but those efforts were unsuccessful. No further information regarding the aircraft, location, or outcome was provided in the available source.
