A Boeing T-45C Goshawk aircraft crashed SE of Tellico Plains Municipal Airport (85TN), Tellico Plains, Tennessee. Both crew confirmed dead.
The Navy investigation concluded the instructor pilot was “flat-hatting” by flying and directing his student to fly too close and too fast to ground in a manner not conducted during basic flying training. The report said that such unauthorized training had become part of culture in the VT-7. There was also no record the instructor had completed the requisite training in the T-45C either. The aircraft stalled at low altitude while manoeuvring hard.
