What happened
The incident began with the aircraft performing a low pass over the airport runway. Following this maneuver, the pilot initiated a pull-up into a steep climb. During this phase of flight, the aircraft departed controlled flight and subsequently descended into the terrain, resulting in a crash.
The investigation
A thorough examination of the physical evidence was conducted to determine the cause of the accident. Investigators inspected both the engine and the airframe for any mechanical defects or anomalies. The post-accident analysis revealed no conditions that would have had a negative impact on the flight of the aircraft. Additionally, post-mortem and toxicological examinations of the pilot-in-command were performed and yielded negative results.
Findings
The primary factor in this accident was the loss of control during a steep climb following a low pass. The steep climb maneuver appears to have been the critical event leading to the departure from controlled flight. There was no evidence of mechanical failure or pilot impairment contributing to the outcome.
