NTSB Factual Report

The pilot stated that due to a spacing request from air traffic control, he elected to perform a 360-degree turn while on final approach to landing. He initiated a climbing right turn, but the airplane “wouldn’t come out of the bank and…entered a stalled spin.” The airplane collided with terrain, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing spar. The pilot reported that there were no pre-impact failures or malfunctions of the airplane controls or engine, and examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector confirmed no evidence of any pre-impact mechanical anomalies.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed during a climbing turn, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
