NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn September 16, 2012, about 1852 central daylight time, an experimental JDT Mini-Max LLC model 1500R light sport airplane, N3533D, was substantially damaged when it collided with terrain shortly after takeoff from the Cameron Memorial Airport (EZZ), Cameron, Missouri. The sport pilot, who was the sole occupant, was fatally injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 without a flight plan.

A witness to the accident reported that he was outside his residence when he heard the accident airplane departing to the south. He initially heard the sound of the engine before he spotted the airplane climbing away from runway 17 at an estimated 45-degree nose up pitch attitude. The witness reported that he did not perceive any engine anomalies as the airplane climbed to about 350 feet above the ground, where it suddenly rolled to the right and entered a near vertical descent into terrain. PERSONNEL INFORMATIONAccording to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records, the accident pilot, age 52, held a sport pilot certificate, issued on October 9, 2010, with airplane single engine land rating. The pilot had never applied for an aviation medical certificate; however, the operation of a light-sport aircraft only required a valid driver's license. A search of FAA records showed no accident, incident, enforcement, or disciplinary actions. The pilot's mo
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during initial climb, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and spin at a low altitude.
