| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot operated on a solo training flight, practicing an engine failure after takeoff. The instructor on the ground saw that the pilot reduced engine power to idle after takeoff. The aircraft then turned 180 degrees, during which control was lost. The pilot almost managed to recovered, but the altitude was too low for a full recovery. The aircraft impacted the ground and burst into flames.
Cause of the accident
The cause of the accident was the engagement of the aircraft following the reduction of engine speed to idle on the climb gradient, while executing the right turn.
Contributory causes:
1. The low altitude (100 m) at which the pilot simulated "engine stall" after take-off;
2. The attitude of the aircraft at the time of the engine speed reduction, which facilitated the aircraft's speed to drop close to the engagement speed.
