What happened
Following departure from the Cordova Airstrip, a single-engine aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall while attempting to climb. The loss of control led to a crash that resulted in a significant post-impact fire. The wreckage was completely destroyed by the flames.
There were two fatalities recorded in the accident, as both occupants on board perished during the event. No survivors were reported from the flight.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the aircraft entered a stall state during the early stages of its ascent. The primary factor contributing to this loss of altitude was the pilot-in-command's failure to maintain sufficient airspeed during the initial climb phase.
