Incident Summary
During a dual instruction flight at Cable Airport, the aircraft completed two full-stop landings on Runway 06 before encountering a downdraft on the subsequent takeoff. The downdraft occurred after the aircraft turned onto the crosswind leg. The instructor pilot took control and turned to the downwind leg, but the settling continued. Faced with persistent descent and determining that a return to the airport was not feasible, the instructor elected to perform a forced landing on unsuitable terrain.
Flight Details
The flight was a dual instruction session, with the instructor and student on board. Two full-stop landings were completed on Runway 06 without incident. On the next takeoff, after turning onto the crosswind leg, the aircraft encountered a downdraft. The instructor assumed control and maneuvered to the downwind leg in an attempt to mitigate the settling. Despite these actions, the descent did not abate.
Outcome
Believing that a return to Cable Airport was not possible, the instructor executed a forced landing on terrain deemed unsuitable for a normal landing. No mechanical malfunctions were reported during the flight. The outcome of the forced landing and the condition of the aircraft and occupants are not specified in the available information.
