NTSB accident and incident record under N40TC

WPR14FA194Accident on May 17, 2014 at Fort Huachuca, AZ: fatal, substantial damage (1 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Aero Commander 500 S · serial 3091

The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed and his exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle-of-attack after a total loss of engine power during the takeoff initial climb, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with terrain. The reason for the total loss of engine power could not be determined because an examination of the airframe and engines did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
