Narrative:
WHILE GIVING A BIENNIAL FLIGHT REVEIW TO A NON-CURRENT PRIVATE PILOT, THE CFI SAID THAT THEY LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT DURING A LANDING, AND THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A FENCE, THEN THE TERRAIN. THE CFI HAD A TOTAL OF 20 HOURS IN TYPE AND NO HOURS IN TYPE FOR THE PRECEEDING 90 DAYS.

Probable Cause: THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE LANDING PHASE COUPLED WITH THE CFI'S INADEQUATE SUPERVISION DURING THE INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT. THE CFI'S LACK OF FAMILIARITY WITH THE ACCIDENT AIRCRAFT WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.
