What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Operations inspector clyde b. o'neill interviewed jeffrey fletcher (PIC) and david junker (private pilot) on 12/28/98, at the Braithwaite airport (LA75). Inspector o'neill determined that a probable cause of the uncontrolled roll of the aircraft was due to a type of wave phenomena created by the prevailing wind being deflected over the Mississippi river levee. After the PIC initiated recovery from the stall/spin, the private pilot made opposing control inputs that probably contributed to the delay in recovery and resultant ground contact. Inspector o'neill determined that the PIC was knowledgeable of stall/spin recovery procedures and counseled him on related matters.
