Narrative:
The aircraft crashed 10 minutes after take-off in a canyon, several miles east of track. Witnesses saw the aircraft at low altitude, and photographs taken by passengers confirm it was flying very low. The pilot flew into a confined area and the overloaded aircraft could not outclimb the terrain. In an attempt to reverse course, the pilot initiated a steep turn and the aircraft stalled. The pilot was very familiar with the area, and the enroute weather was good.

Classification:
Loss of control
