Additional Participating Entity:

Investigation Docket - National Transportation Safety Board:

Pietsch Aircraft Restoration & Repair Inc


Location: Minot, North Dakota 
Accident Number: CEN22LA291
Date and Time: June 12, 2022, 14:40 Local 
Registration: N737BW
Aircraft: Cessna 172N 
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Aerodynamic stall/spin 
Injuries: 1 Minor
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

Analysis

The student pilot reported that he intended to depart the airport to the southeast. He stated that the airplane accelerated, and rotated at 55 kts, after which he did not notice an increase in altitude or airspeed. He then "brought the airplane to a neutral configuration to build airspeed.” The airplane yawed and when it was about 45° from runway heading the student pilot reduced power and attempted to land. He noted that he still had right rudder input for takeoff, and this induced a hard right turn. The right wing stalled, and the airplane impacted on the right landing gear. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the forward fuselage. The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The student pilot’s failure to maintain airspeed and yaw control of the airplane during an aborted takeoff, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with the ground. 

Findings

Aircraft Yaw control - Not attained/maintained
Aircraft Airspeed - Not attained/maintained
Personnel issues Aircraft control - Pilot

  1. Another 40+ hour career student pilot who apparently just soloed where competent students by that time were approaching if not already had their private ticket. And he still can't control the aircraft. Time to hang it up sport and try another career (or hobby)...you were not cut out to be an aviator.

    1. English language proficiency is possible issue here in the training and instruction. Lots of foreign pilot wannabes get visas to come to the US to get flight training. Why the 9/11 Hijacker pilots didn't raise any alarm bells, and why TSA now screens student pilot applications before the FAA issue the student permit. The foreign students are willing to pay and may have rich patents back home, and the temptation to take their money by the small flight schools is there. Entry level flight training is either impossible or extremely expensive in many developing countries outside of military aviation training pipelines. Even in wealthy Europe, Lufthansa has an ab initio training school set up for German/EU students in Las Cruces,NM as an affordable way to make their career pilots, as its so expensive in Europe.

    2. Foreign pilots training on a visa will have way more than 10 hours flight time in the last 90 days. Doesn't appear that Jonis was training for terrorism. The 10 hours flown in 90 days suggests that Jonis didn't have rich parents and had to earn the money for flight lessons. So much projection...
