NTSB accident and incident record under N3487T

SEA08LA179Accident on August 16, 2008 at St. Johns, AZ: fatal, substantial damage (1 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Cessna 177 · serial 17700787

The failure of both pilots to abort the takeoff when a suitable climb rate could not be attained. Contributing to the accident was the reduction of available power due to the camshaft lobe and lifter corrosion/wear, the high density altitude, and the CFI’s inadequate supervision.
