NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On January 14, 2000, at 0951 central standard time, a Cessna 152 airplane, N95552, was destroyed by terrain impact and postimpact fire, while maneuvering near Carlisle, Arkansas. The aircraft was registered to and operated by Central Flying Service, Inc., of Little Rock, Arkansas. The student pilot, sole occupant, was fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 solo instructional flight. The flight originated from the Adams Field Airport, Little Rock, Arkansas, at 0925. Local control (tower) instructed the pilot to turn the aircraft right to 040 degrees after takeoff from runway 36, and cleared the flight for takeoff. Following takeoff from Little Rock, the pilot established initial contact with Little Rock Departure Control (radar east), at 0929. At 0937, the pilot requested and received termination of radar services. Departure control had no further communications with the pilot. A review of available radar data indicated that the airplane departed the Little Rock area on an easterly heading and climbed to an altitude of 3,200 feet msl with a varying ground speed of 84 to 94 knots. At 0939:45, the airplane was at 3,200 feet msl, heading 089 degrees, and its ground speed had decreased to 48 knots. At 0946:05, the airplane was at 3,300 feet msl, in a left turn, with a ground speed of 45 knots. At 0947:06, the data indicated that the airplane's ground speed had increased to 49 knots, and its heading was 089 degrees after the completion of a right turn. At 0949:57
Probable cause
the pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control.
