CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

WPR11FA424Accident on September 2, 2011 at Lakeport, CA: serious injuries, substantial damage.serial on NTSB record: 1019

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Consolidated Aeronautics INC. LAKE LA-4-200 · operated under 091

The pilot's decision to continue the takeoff with reduced engine power, which resulted in a collision with terrain during the takeoff initial climb. Contributing to the accident was the partial loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
