| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he and another pilot had conducted a series of touch-and-go landings. He added that, after takeoff for the accident touch-and-go landing and during the base-to-final turn in the airport traffic pattern, the airplane’s bank angle was too steep, its nose attitude was too high, and its airspeed was low. The airplane then entered a stall/spin. The pilot was able to recover to a wings-level, nose-low attitude before the airplane impacted the ground short of the runway. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed, which led to the airplane exceeding its critical angle-of-attack and experiencing a stall/spin.
