NTSB events (2)
Accident · substantial damage
Feb 4, 2003 · Burlington, WA
The pilot's failure to adequately remove ice/frost from the aircraft and to maintain airspeed during the initial climb after takeoff. An inadequate preflight was a factor.
IMPROPER PLANNING/DECISION BY THE PILOT. FACTORS RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT WERE: THE ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS, ACCUMULATION OF STRUCTURAL AND/OR INDUCTION ICE, AND DARK NIGHT.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
AI-extracted — verify against original. Matched from each AD's applicability section; ADs replaced by a later AD are left out.
