Overweight? Out of CG? Stalled? Too slow?

I'm not as certain as you. Ground effect begins to be detectable at one wing span of altitude above the grond, but just barely (see reference). I was always taught that it really is only signficant at 1/2 the wing span. However, I agree with you that the airplane appeared to get 50 - 75 feet high which is well out of ground effect. He should have been able to fly away once getting to that height. I wonder if something got into the controls or something like that. I just am not sure that what we saw is completely explained by either overloading or out of balance. Matt Sorry, forgot the reference. http://avstop.com/AC/FlightTraingHan...undEffect.html Matt
