A preliminary report from the National Transportation and Safety Board shows a plane that crashed on Powers Boulevard on Oct. 1 was unable to fully accelerate amid climbing elevation despite normal engine operation.

The Piper PA-28R200 took off from the Colorado Springs Airport en route to Great Bend, Kan., around 4 a.m. and crashed at 4:12 a.m., injuring the pilot.

The pilot reported no issues until after liftoff, when the airplane’s climb was less than the 600 feet per minute climb expected, according to the NTSB report. The plane was also traveling traveling at 80 mph, which was slower than normal.

The elevation of the ground below the plane increased from around 6,150 feet to around 6,740 feet in five minutes, while it traveled around Powers Boulevard nearly the entire flight. As the pilot attempted to climb, the report stated he was unable to sufficiently lift the plane despite the engine operating and made the decision to land on Powers Boulevard.

The plane suddenly rolled left and pointed down shortly before landing, forcing the pilot to make several maneuvers to level the plane. The pilot stated the plane crossed over the northbound lanes to the southbound lanes before landing on all three landing gears simultaneously and hitting two power poles, according to the report.

The pilot suffered minor injuries, and the two passengers were not injured. Federal Aviation Administration inspectors that examined the wreckage in a storage facility did not find “any mechanical anomalies that would have prevented normal operation.”
