NTSB events (1)

Accident · substantial damage

Oct 20, 2019 · Angel Fire, NM

The airplane’s degraded performance due to high-density altitude and gusting wind conditions, which resulted in its inability to maintain altitude during the initial takeoff climb. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s lack of experience with high altitude flying and his decision to depart in high-density altitude and gusting wind conditions.
