What happened
During the early stages of an ascent following departure from Brisco, the pilot attempted to execute a turn. During this maneuver, the aircraft experienced a loss of control, leading to an aerodynamic stall. The aircraft type subsequently impacted a field.
At the time of the incident, the weather was characterized by favorable conditions, though ambient temperatures were notably high. The aircraft was being operated for private use and was transporting boat equipment. While the total weight of the plane remained within permissible operational limits, the impact resulted in one fatality (the pilot) and three injuries among the passengers.
Findings
Investigation into the crash identified several contributing elements that led to the loss of control. The high outside air temperature significantly diminished the performance capabilities and aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft. Additionally, the presence of strong winds played a role in the accident sequence. Ultimately, the primary factor was that the aircraft speed became insufficient during the final turn, which triggered the stall.
