| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The airplane departed runway 01 with a "slight tailwind," and the flaps extended 10 degrees. Approximately 50 feet agl, the pilot raised the flaps to increase airspeed, and the airplane "started to lose lift." Approaching the end of the runway, the airplane was "slowly losing altitude and the airspeed was approximately 5 knots above the stall speed." With rising terrain ahead, the pilot executed a slow 180 degree left turn back toward the airport. During the turn, the airspeed decreased and the airplane stalled. Subsequently, the airplane impacted terrain in a nose low attitude. The pilot reported no mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during initial climb which resulted in an inadvertant stall and impact with terrain.
