Accident Description
A student pilot was conducting several low-altitude passes over a family business. During the final pass, the pilot extended 10 degrees of flaps and reduced engine power to slow the airplane, aiming to lengthen the viewing time. According to the pilot, while at an altitude between 75 and 100 feet, the nose pitched upward and the airplane entered an aerodynamic stall. The pilot believed that no mechanical problems were involved, as the airplane had been flying normally prior to the stall. The aircraft subsequently collided with terrain in an approximate 65-degree nose-down attitude.
Aircraft and Pilot Information
The accident involved a student pilot. No further details about the aircraft type, registration, or operator were provided in the source. The pilot reported that the airplane was functioning normally before the stall event.
Sequence of Events
The pilot had completed multiple low-altitude passes over a family business. On the final pass, the pilot configured the airplane with 10 degrees of flaps and reduced power to decrease airspeed. Between 75 and 100 feet above ground level, the airplane's nose rose abruptly, leading to a stall. The aircraft then descended and impacted the ground at a steep nose-down angle of approximately 65 degrees.
