What happened
An accident involving a single-engine airplane occurred during the early stages of flight. While performing an initial climb from the airfield, the aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall. This loss of lift caused the plane to descend uncontrollably, eventually impacting the ground near a road adjacent to the airport.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. There were four fatalities recorded in the incident, involving the pilot and three other occupants including a missionary and two passengers.
Findings
- The aircraft entered a stall during the climb phase.
- The crash occurred in the vicinity of an airport access road.
