The Cessna 185 Skywagon is a versatile aircraft well-suited for remote areas with minimal airstrips. The Skywagon 185 equipped with floats, skis, and a Robertson STOL kit offers unique capabilities for rough terrains. A tragic accident unfolded due to a violent right-wing stall during take-off, resulting in a fatal crash into Lake Ounasjärvi in Finland. The investigation highlighted the pilot’s lack of stall recovery practice and limited knowledge of the aircraft’s aerodynamics, exacerbated by undocumented modifications and a lack of proper testing post-repairs. The re-creation of the accident flight showcased the potential dangers of insufficient stall awareness in flight operations.
