NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On July 26, 2007, about 1110 central daylight time, a Cessna 150B, N1299Y, was substantially damaged when it impacted the ground during takeoff from a private airport in Campbellton, Florida. The certificated private pilot and a passenger were killed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan had been filed for the local flight. The personal flight was conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The airplane was owned by the pilot, and based at the Donalsonville Municipal Airport (17J), Donalsonville, Georgia. According to witnesses, the airplane landed at the private airport at 0830. The private airport consisted of a 2,800-foot-long, 100-foot-wide, turf runway, that was oriented in an east/west direction. The pilot and the owner of the airport took off to the west, and flew to the DeFuniak Springs Airport (54J), DeFuniak Springs, Florida. They then later returned to Campbellton and landed to the east, without incident. With the engine continuing to run, the airport owner exited the airplane, and his 7-year old grandson entered the airplane and was seated in the passenger seat. The pilot conducted an engine run-up, with a corresponding magneto check, and then departed to the west. The airplane lifted off about two-thirds down the runway, and cleared the power lines and treetops at the end of the runway. The airplane then made a right turn to the northwest. A witness near the accident site stated he saw the airplane land and then depart about 15 minutes later. He stated the airplane's engine was sputtering during the l
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during the initial climb after takeoff, which resulted in an inadvertent stall.
