NTSB accident and incident record under N953RJ

CEN18LA301Accident on July 27, 2018 at Painesville, OH: serious injuries, substantial damage.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Flightstar SC II · serial 325

The student pilot’s failure to maintain an airspeed below flight speed during a practice taxi run, which resulted in the airplane inadvertently becoming airborne. Once airborne, the reduced engine power due to an improper propeller pitch setting and carburetor icing degraded the airplane’s performance and prevented the airplane from being able to continue to climb.
