NTSB summary
On January 15, 2005, at 1144 Pacific standard time, an unregistered and noncertificated SlipStream Revelation aircraft, impacted the ground in an uncontrolled descent during a go-around at the Camarillo Airport, Camarillo, California. The private pilot, also the owner, was operating the aircraft under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot sustained fatal injuries; the aircraft sustained substantial damage. The aircraft departed Camarillo Airport at 1030 for the local area flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed. According to a witness, the aircraft touched down hard upon the ultralight landing strip adjacent to the Camarillo airport, and the nose gear sheared off. The pilot performed a go-around and during the turn from the crosswind leg to the downwind leg of the airport traffic pattern, the aircraft appeared to slow down and then entered a spiraling turn to the ground. The airport operations personnel responded to the accident site. Excluding the nose gear, the entire aircraft was at the accident site, and the damage was consistent with a nose-down impact. They located the nose gear at the landing runway. The Ventura County Ultralight Aircraft Society (VCUAS) examined the aircraft and landing area following the accident. Post-accident examination of the aircraft and its systems was performed by VCUAS recovery volunteers. The remaining fuel on board was approximately 3 gallons. Carburetors and air cleaners were attached with the exception of one air cleaner that was below the engine at the point of impact. Control continu
Probable cause
the pilot's failure to maintain an adequate airspeed during a go-around, which resulted in a stall/spin.
