WHILE MANEUVERING IN A TURN ABOUT 500 TO 600 FEET AGL DURING AN AERIAL OBSERVATION FLIGHT, THE PILOT FELT A SLIGHT BUFFET. SUSPECTING AN 'ACCELERATED STALL', THE PILOT SIMULTANEOUSLY APPLIED FULL POWER, NOSE DOWN PITCH, AND LEVELED THE WINGS. AT THAT POINT, THE PASSENGER REACHED FOR THE CONTROLS AND PULLED THE YOKE BACK TO AN AFT POSITION. THE PASSENGER IMMEDIATELY RELEASED THE CONTROLS WHEN THE INSTRUCTOR YELLED AT HIM. HOWEVER, THE INSTRUCTOR WAS UNABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL IN THE ALTITUDE REMAINING PRIOR TO THE AIRPLANE IMPACTING TREES.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN FLYING SPEED AND THE PASSENGER'S INTERFERENCE WITH THE CONTROLS DURING THE ATTEMPTED RECOVERY.
