On the third pass, the aircraft being operated at a height of about 250 feet.
Witnesses on the ground saw the angle of the right wing increase suddenly when on a course heading eastward. The aircraft took a nose-down attitude and collided with the ground.
Examination of the wreckage did not reveal any abnormality that may have contributed to the accident. The pilot was seated in the right seat.
The operating information registered by GPS enabled investigators to determine the path and height of the aircraft. A camera containing photographs taken during the overflight residence was found in the wreckage.
It is likely that in the last turn, the aircraft was subject to a gusty crosswind that suddenly
