The flight instructor reported that he and the student picked the day to practice crosswind landings. The flight instructor recalled a successful run up and departure. The next thing the flight instructor recalled was the student telling him to "take the airplane." The instructor does not recall anything after that. The student pilot reported that the flight stayed in the traffic pattern. One successful touch-and-go was accomplished followed by a go-around. The student pilot stated that during the climb out after the go-around, he turned the aircraft to cross-wind. During the turn toward downwind, the engine lost power. The student stated that he kept control of the airplane while the instructor went through a trouble shoot/restart sequence. The student then turned the airplane over to the flight instructor. The student does not recall anything after that point. Witnesses reported that the aircraft had been doing touch-and-go landings on runway 17. The aircraft was observed to pass over a building near the runway, pitch up and make a hard banking turn to the left before stalling and colliding with the building's parking lot. Another witness stated that after the accident, he heard the right seat occupant state, "sorry I just lost it." The aircraft collided with several objects before coming to rest about 55 yards from the initial ground impact. The nearest weather reporting facility was reporting a wind from 150 degrees at 19 knots at the time of the accident. No mechanical failure or malfunction was noted during the post-accident airframe and engine examination. Damage signatures found on the airplane's propeller were consistent with the engine producing power at the time of impact.
Probable Cause: The flight instructor's failure to maintain airspeed while on approach for landing resulting in an inadvertent stall. Wind gusts, trees and an undetermined loss of engine power were factors.
