Accident Summary
The accident occurred during the takeoff initial climb phase. The pilot reported that he began to feel the airspeed decrease shortly after liftoff. In response, he applied a nose-down correction to regain airspeed. Despite this action, the airspeed continued to decline until the aircraft entered an aerodynamic stall. The airplane subsequently collided with the ground.
Pilot Report
According to the pilot, there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have prevented normal operation. The aircraft was performing as expected prior to the loss of airspeed.
Weather Conditions
Around the time of the accident, the airport's automated weather observation station reported winds from 290° at 7 knots, with gusts up to 18 knots. The airplane was taking off from runway 35.
Damage Assessment
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, both wings, the horizontal stabilizer, and the elevator.
