Accident Details
An individual who was not a certificated pilot was giving aircraft rides to attendees of a horse sale at a ranch. According to witnesses, the person flying the aircraft told several people at the event that he did not possess an FAA pilot's certificate. Subsequent searches of FAA records confirmed that he was not a certificated pilot.
During the rides, the pilot would take off from a field near the sale location and perform a series of low passes, each concluding with a steep pull-up. On the accident flight, the pilot made a low pass, pulled up steeply, and appeared to be initiating a turn near the top of the pull-up. As the aircraft slowed at the apex of the climb, it entered a spin. The pilot did not recover from the spin.
The accident occurred during the horse sale. Witnesses reported observing the event. No further details about the aircraft or injuries have been provided in the source.
