WITNESSES STATED THEY WERE GATHERED TOGETHER FOR A MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATION WHEN THEY OBSERVED THE AIRPLANE FLYING AND MANEUVERING AT LOW ALTITUDE OVER THE FARM. THEY REPORTED THE AIRPLANE APPROACHED FROM THE NORTHEAST AND WAS SO LOW THEY WONDERED IF IT WOULD CLEAR THE POWER LINES LOCATED ON THE EAST EDGE OF THE PROPERTY. ONE WITNESS STATED THEY WERE SO LOW HE COULD SEE THE THREE OCCUPANTS. HE STATED THEY WERE FLYING UPSIDE DOWN, THEN TRIED TO DO A LOOP. THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED THE GROUND ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE LOOP. THE ACCIDENT AIRCRAFT IS NOT CERTIFICATED FOR ACROBATIC FLIGHT. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF PREIMPACT MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION.
Probable Cause: THE PRIVATE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCE FROM TERRAIN WHILE ATTEMPTING AEROBATIC MANEUVERS. THE PILOT'S DISREGARD FOR PROCEDURES/DIRECTIVES, AND ATTEMPTED AEROBATICS, ARE FACTORS.
