| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft failed to reach normal circuit height after takeoff probably because of a partial loss of engine power. The aircraft continued flight at low altitude and airspeed before stalling, and an incipient spin entry resulted in the aircraft striking the ground vertically nose-down.
Conclusion
The aircraft stalled and entered an incipient spin, probably following a partial loss of engine power the cause of which could not be determined.
