Accident Overview
During a touch-and-go training exercise at Salinas Municipal Airport, an aircraft stalled and collided with the ground shortly after taking off from runway 31. The incident occurred on the third takeoff of the session. Neither the certified flight instructor nor the dual student reported any injuries.
Flight Details
The instructor reported that she was providing the student pilot with instruction on touch-and-go takeoffs and landings. On the accident takeoff, the student rotated the aircraft at an indicated speed of about 70 miles per hour. As the aircraft climbed to approximately 25 feet above the ground, the stall warning horn sounded, and the aircraft subsequently entered a right roll.
Sequence of Events
Upon hearing the stall warning and noticing the roll, the instructor took control of the aircraft. However, the aircraft struck the ground before she was able to regain full control. The aircraft had departed runway 31 moments earlier. No additional information about the aircraft or the flight was provided in the report.
