| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
Witnesses reported that the airplane flew low over the local area golf course before banking to the right to land at the airport. The landing gear and flaps were down during the low pass. The witnesses then observed the airplane bank to the right, depart controlled flight, and dive to the ground in a nose-down attitude. The wreckage was confined to a small area in a grove of trees. Airframe and engine examinations revealed no mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering for landing, resulting in an aerodynamic stall.
