NTSB Identification: FTW04LA189
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Sunday, July 18, 2004 in Latexo, TX
Aircraft: Calhoun RV-4, registration: N996NC
Injuries: 1 Serious.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors.
Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been
completed.
On July 18, 2004, at 1351 central daylight time, a Calhoun RV-4
single-engine homebuilt airplane, N996NC, was destroyed when it impacted
terrain following a loss of control just after take-off from Bruner Airport
(8TS3), near Latexo, Texas. The private pilot, sole occupant of the
airplane, was seriously injured. The airplane was registered to and operated
by the pilot. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan
was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal
flight. The local flight was originating at the time of the accident.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, who responded to the
accident site, stated that just after take-off from runway 17 (a 2,500 feet
long by 50 feet wide turf runway), the airplane entered a "stall/spin
situation," and that the left wing dipped and hit the ground first. Then the
airplane "pivoted" on the left wing and traveled approximately 150 feet
before coming to rest in the upright position, facing approximately 280
degrees.
Examination by the FAA inspector, revealed that the left wing was wrinkled
and the left main spar was bent. The right wing was wrinkled. The left wing
fuel tank exhibited signs that the fuel had spilled out, and the right wing
fuel tank was seeping out fuel. The fuselage was folded at the cockpit, and
cocked to the left approximately 12 degrees
