Stall during initial climb, collision with ground, during cost-shared flight
During a cost-shared flight between the pilot and two passengers, it is probable that the pilot kept the aeroplane on the back side of the power curve during the initial climb. The aeroplane then stalled, possibly after the after take-off actions, and in particular following the retraction of the flaps. The investigation was unable to determine how the pilot reacted to this stall.
