Observations
Multiple witnesses reported observing an airplane in the traffic pattern for landing. The aircraft was noted to be on a tight downwind leg, and its airspeed appeared slower compared to other airplanes in the pattern. While on the base leg, the nose of the airplane was observed pitching up and down repeatedly.
Accident Sequence
During the turn from base to final, the airplane overshot the intended final approach path. The pilot initiated a left turn, estimated by witnesses to be between 35 and 45 degrees of bank. Subsequently, the left wing dropped to a 90-degree angle relative to the horizon, resembling a stall condition. The nose then pitched down, and the airplane continued to descend until it collided with the terrain.
