NTSB accident and incident record under N8962V

LAX01LA259Accident on July 25, 2001 at Placerville, CA: minor injuries, substantial damage.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Cessna 172M · serial 17264318

Inadequate airspeed during climb out following an aborted landing that was precipitated by the pilot's misjudged speed/distance on final approach. Also, contributing to the accident was the pilot's inexperience in the type of operation, his failure to properly configure the airplane's flaps for the go-around, and the dark nighttime condition.
