| Nature: | Private |
| Departure airport: | Tonopah Airport, NV (TPH/KTPH) |
| Camarillo Airport, CA (KCMA) | |
| Investigating agency: | NTSB |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot and passenger were landing at the destination airport following a cross-country flight. Witnesses saw the airplane on final approach for landing when it entered a right bank followed by a steep, nose-down descent. The airplane impacted the ground several hundred feet short of the runway threshold.
Postaccident examination of the airframe and engine revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. Given the available information, it is likely that the pilot failed to maintain airspeed on final approach, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack and an aerodynamic stall at an altitude too low for recovery.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed on final approach, which resulted in exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack and an aerodynamic stall at an altitude that precluded recovery.
