NTSB narrative
PLT MADE ONE PASS OVER ARPT AND THEN ENTERED DOWNWIND BEHIND CESSNA 150. PLT APPROACHED TOO CLOSE BEHIND CESSNA ON FINAL AND MADE GO AROUND. PLT PITCHED ACFT UP SHARPELY AND ENTERED A 90 DEGREE LEFT BANK. PLT THEN LEVELED OFF AT 200 FEET AND ACFT THEN STALLED. LEFT WING AND NOSE DROPPED AND ACFT DESCENDED UNCONTROLLED. PLT GOT WINGS AND NOSE NEAR LEVEL AS ACFT IMPACTED IN A MARSH AREA. A POST IMPACT FIRE ERRUPTED IMMEDIATELY UPON IMPACT. POST CRASH EXAMINATION OF ACFT AND ENGINES REVEALED NO EVIDENCE TO INDICATE FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION. NO MEDICAL CONDITIONS WITHIN THE PLT WERE NOTED AFTER THE ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED INCAPACITATION.
Probable cause
THE PILOT IN COMMANDS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN AIRSPEED WHILE PERFORMING A GO AROUND RESULTING IN THE AIRPLANE STALLING AND COLLIDING WITH THE GROUND IN AN UNCONTROLLED DESCENT.

Source notes (4)
- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
- API snapshot SHA-256: 57c9ba2bcd6d01c9c23c90c54805bcedf12c26f3c5a779f1194f8c8f11660b1a; retrieved 2026-09-21T02:00:56.316Z.
