NTSB narrative
THE PILOT SELECTED 10 DEGREES OF FLAP FOR TAKEOFF WITH THE AIRCRAFT LOADED TO NEAR LIMITS FOR EXISTING CONDITIONS. THE AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE IN GROUND EFFECT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO FLYING SPEED, NECESSITATING A FORCED LANDING IN A SOYBEAN FIELD. POST-LANDING INVESTIGATION SHOWED THE FLAP SELECTOR IN THE 10 DEGREE DETENT BUT THE FLAPS FULL DOWN AT 40 DEGREES.

- 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.
