THE RATED STUDENT PILOT WAS RECEIVING A MOUNTAIN FLYING CHECKOUT FROM THE PIC/FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR. TAKEOFF WAS MADE FROM A 7200 FT. RUNWAY INTO A 15 KNOT HEADWIND. TEN DEGREES OF FLAPS WERE USED AND THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS 10,089 FEET MSL. THE AIRPLANE CLIMBED TO APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET AGL, THEN THE AIRSPEED BEGAN TO DECAY AND THE STALL WARNING HORN SOUNDED. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR APPLIED FORWARD CONTROL YOKE PRESSURE AND CALLED FOR GEAR RETRACTION. THE PILOT RECEIVING INSTRUCTION DID NOT FEEL THIS WAS PRUDENT. INSTEAD, HE RETRACTED THE FLAPS AND ABORTED THE TAKEOFF. THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN IN A FIELD LEFT OF CENTERLINE, WENT THROUGH A BARBED WIRE FENCE, AND COLLIDED WITH A DITCH.
Probable Cause: THE DUAL STUDENT'S POOR TAKEOFF TECHNIQUE, HIS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, AND INADEQUATE SUPERVISION BY THE PIC CFI. A FACTOR WAS: THE DUAL STUDENT'S LACK OF EXPERIENCE IN MOUNTAIN FLYING.
