THE PASSENGER STATED THAT WHILE THE FLIGHT WAS EN ROUTE TO AN AIRPORT, HE HEARD THE PILOT SAY THAT HE SAW A COYOTE ON THE GROUND AND THE PILOT STARTED A DESCENT. WHEN THE FLIGHT WAS OVER THE COYOTE, THE PILOT PULLED THE AIRPLANE INTO A WING OVER. DURING THIS MANEUVER, THE PASSENGER FELT THE STALL BUFFET. THE PASSENGER DOES NOT RECALL ANY FURTHER EVENTS UNTIL HE WOKE UP ON THE GROUND AND DOES NOT RECALL THAT THERE WERE ANY MECHANICAL FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS WITH THE AIRPLANE PRIOR TO THE MANEUVER. EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH THE TERRAIN IN A LEFT WING LOW ATTITUDE.
Probable Cause: POOR INFLIGHT PLANNING AND AN INADVERTENT STALL.
