NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.
The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.
The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.
Lamar, CO
The pilot reported he had made several passes on a field when he noticed his airspeed was low (80 miles per hour) with a normal power setting of 32 inches manifold pressure and 2,500 rpm. The pilot said he leveled the airplane's wings and lowered the nose. He said when the airspeed did not increase he went to full power. The pilot said his airspeed continued to decay. The airplane was also descending. The pilot said he unsuccessfully attempted to dump his 125 gallons of chemical. The airplane mushed into the field. An examination of the airplane showed the propeller broken off in torsion. The airplane's left wing was bent back, and the airplane's left main landing gear was broken aft. An examination of the airplane's systems showed no anomalies.
A partial loss of engine power for undetermined reasons and the pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in a stall. Contributing to the accident was the low altitude.
