Narrative:The 363-hour single-engine commercial rated pilot lost control of the airplane during a parachute activity flight. The airplane subsequently stalled and entered a spin to the left. A witness radioed the pilot and asked what was wrong, and the pilot replied that he was in a spin and didn't know what to do. The witness replied, flaps and power, and continued to watch both the airplane and the parachutists. At approximately 800 feet, the witness heard the engine go from a low power setting to a high power setting. The airplane impacted terrain in a wings level attitude. A post-accident examination of the engine revealed no anomalies.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin.
