The flight instructor and student pilot were conducting a touch-and-go landing. Surveillance footage showed that, shortly after takeoff, the airplane appeared to stop climbing. The right wing then dropped and the airplane entered a steep, nose-down attitude and impacted the ground. A postimpact fire ensued.
Examination of the airframe and engine revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
At the time of the accident, the density altitude was calculated to be about 8,600 ft. Given the available evidence, it is likely that the engine's performance was degraded by the high density altitude and the airplane's critical angle of attack was exceeded during the initial climb after takeoff, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and loss of control.
Probable Cause: The flight instructor's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during the initial climb after takeoff, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack, an aerodynamic stall, and loss of control.
