Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The certified flight instructor and the private pilot were returning to the airport in a single-engine airplane after completing a biennial flight review. Data obtained from the onboard primary flight display revealed that as the airplane approached the airport, it entered a snap roll maneuver, and began to descend. The airplane did not have enough altitude to recover and subsequently collided with terrain inverted approximately one-quarter of a mile away from the airport. Examination of the airframe and engine revealed there were no pre-mishap anomalies.
Probable Cause: The flight instructor's failure to maintain control of the airplane, which resulted in an inadvertent stall while maneuvering.
