- Date: September 4, 2013
- Aircraft: Cessna 207 Skywagon/Stationair
- Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The pilot's failure to establish the proper pitch attitude and airspeed during takeoff at maximum power, which led the airplane to enter a region of reversed command at low altitude.
A Cessna T207 Turbo Skywagon operated for the Sanborn Map Company was taking off from Colorado Springs with one pilot and one passenger on board. The airplane failed to climb properly after liftoff, lost airspeed and could not reach a safe altitude, and it made a hard landing in a field. Both occupants survived.
