Narrative:The Piper Tomahawk crashed in a field near Bettincourt. The instructor and pupil were killed.
Causes.
The cause of the accident is an unintentional spin of the aircraft further to stall exercise conducted at an altitude insufficient to recover.
Contributing factors
The Instructor Pilot had a low (or low recent) experience flying Piper PA-38-112 airplanes.
Moreover, he did not fly alone or with an experimented flight instructor in Piper PA-38-112 to fully familiarize himself with recovery from unusual attitudes (Spin ...) before starting instructional flights.
The “Pilot’s Operating Handbook” does not adequately draw the attention of the pilots that slow flights and stall trainings should only be conducted at altitudes adequate to recover fully an unintentional spin.
