Accident & incident history

2018-06-01 Accident · Longview, TX Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · CEN18LA209
Reported aircraft: Luscombe 8A — a different aircraft that carried the N72066 registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to use carburetor heat for takeoff, which resulted in an interruption of continuous fuel flow to the engine and a loss of engine power during climb. Also causal was the lack of required placarding warning of the need to use full carburetor heat on takeoff and landing.
