WPR14FA132Accident on March 9, 2014 at Carson City, NV: fatal, destroyed (1 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Cessna 120 · serial 11290

The pilot’s delayed decision to initiate a course-reversal turn when the airplane was unable to attain sufficient altitude to cross a mountain range, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and entering an aerodynamic stall during the turn. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s selection, for undetermined reasons, of a route different than his normal route.
