NTSB accident and incident record under N3509M
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Piper PA 28R-201 · serial 28R-7837119
The pilot’s inability to maintain a climb while attempting to cross over a mountain pass in high-density altitude conditions that degraded the airplane’s climb performance. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to attempt the flight in mountainous terrain and to enter the pass in such a way that an escape maneuver was not possible.
