Factual narrative
THE ACFT SETTLED INTO TREES DURING A FORCED LANDING ON TAKEOFF AFTER A POWER LOSS AT 800 FEET AGL. THE FLIGHT HAD STARTED AT STOW, MA. AND PROCEEDED AT FITCHBURG AFTER PRACTICING STALLS AND TURNS FOR A PILOT REVIEW. AFTER LANDING AT FITCHBURG AIRPORT THE FLIGHT TAXIED INTO TAKEOFF POSITON WITHOUT STOPPING FOR ANY CHECKS AND TOOK OFF. AT ABOUT 800 FEET THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND WHEN A SUITABLE LANDING SITE WAS NOT FOUND A STALL INTO TREES WAS ACCOMPLISHED. THE 2 PILOTS WERE UNINJURED. AN AIR FILTER ELEMENT HAD BLOCKED THE CARBURETOR THROAT. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
