On July 11, 1999, at 1152 mountain daylight time, a Piper PA-22-150, N7729D, impacted terrain during initial climb following takeoff from Hinckley Municipal Airport, Ogden, Utah. The private pilot and his three passengers received fatal injuries and impact and postimpact fire destroyed the aircraft. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for this personal flight to Jackpot, Nevada. The flight was being operated under Title 14 CFR part 91.
During initial climb following takeoff, the aircraft was observed to settle then climb slowly. The aircraft entered a right turn and the controller queried the pilot regarding having problems. The pilot did not indicate he was having problems but stated he would return and land. The controller issued a clearance to land on the nearest runway. The aircraft wings were observed to be rocking followed by the aircraft rolling inverted to the right and descending into trees. Density altitude at the time was 7,400 feet. Investigation revealed the aircraft was 136 pounds over the maximum certified gross weight allowable.
Probable Cause: The pilot inadvertently allowing the aircraft to enter a stall during initial climb following takeoff. Factors were high density altitude and gross weight which exceeded the maximum.
