A witness reported observing the airplane begin 'to spiral or corkscrew.' The rate of descent 'was slow,' and the rate of rotation 'was not fast.' The airplane made approximately eight full rotations prior to descending out of view. At no time was there any indication of the pilot trying to recover from the rotation. The witness further reported that there were no erratic or abrupt movements of the airplane prior to the entry of the spiral. It was as if the pilot 'intentionally' entered into the maneuver. The witness also reported the airplane was about 1 to 1.5 miles west of his location at an altitude of approximately 900 feet when it entered the maneuver. Flight control continuity was established.
Probable Cause: the flight instructor's delay in recovery from the intentional stall/spin.
