Flight Maneuvering
While flying a Piper PA-18 at approximately 200 feet above ground level, the pilot maneuvered near a dirt/gravel road that she intended to use for landing. During these maneuvers, she turned the aircraft such that it experienced a direct tailwind with an estimated velocity of 15 to 20 knots. She then began a climbing turn. The direct tailwind increased the aircraft's ground speed, which in turn created the illusion that the aircraft's airspeed had also increased.
Stall and Spin Impact
During the climbing turn, the pilot allowed the aircraft's airspeed to decrease to a point where the wing stalled. The pilot attempted to recover from the stall, but her remedial action was insufficient. The aircraft subsequently entered a spin and continued to spin until it impacted the terrain.
