| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot departed a 3,200-foot-long runway on a hot day in his 65-horsepower single-engine airplane. When he reached an altitude of 150 feet and an airspeed of 55 knots, the pilot made a left-hand turn so that he could clear the area for the other aircraft waiting to back-taxi/depart. While in the turn, the airspeed decreased and the pilot was unable to maintain altitude. The airplane collided with trees south of the runway. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical discrepancies with the airplane or the engine and that he should have continued straight out on departure rather than turning.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane on during initial climb.
