NTSB summary
e On June 5, 1995, at 1230 central daylight time (cdt), a Grumman AA-1, N6122L, piloted by a private pilot, was destroyed during a collision with trees, terrain, and post-crash fire shortly after takeoff from runway 14 (3,205' X 60' dry asphalt) at the Linn Creek Grand-Glaize Memorial Airport, Osage Beach, Missouri. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight was not operating on a flight plan. The pilot received serious injuries and a passenger was fatally injured. The flight departed Osage Beach, Missouri, at 1230 cdt. An interview with the pilot was conducted on June 8, 1995. The pilot stated the airplane lifted off the runway at 65 mph. He said he climbed the airplane at 90 mph and banked it to the right immediately takeoff. Upon reaching 500 to 800 feet on the crosswind leg, the pilot said he began a turn to the downwind leg of the departure runway. He said it was at this point the airplane "slipped" to the right more than he had intended. The pilot was asked how steep a bank the airplane was in at that point in the flight. He said about 45 degrees. According to the pilot, once in the steep bank the airplane began a descent and the stall horn went off. The pilot said he did not apply back pressure while the stall horn was activated. He said he could not level the wings with left rudder. He said everything was happening very fast and that he could not figure out why the airplane's wings would not level out with left rudder. He was asked if he applied left aileron with the left rudder application. He said tha
Probable cause
a low altitude maneuver performed by the pilot and the pilot not maintaining the airplane's airspeed. A factor in this accident was the pilot encountering a stall/mush.
