(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT AFTER CONDUCTING AN INITIAL CLEARING TURN, A STALL WAS CONDUCTED WITH A NORMAL RECOVERY. AFTER A DISCUSSION OF AIRSPEEDS WITH THE PASSENGER, ANOTHER STALL WAS INITIATED AT APPROXIMATELY 2,500 FEET, A LEFT TURN WITH A 15 TO 20 DEGREES OF BANK. THE AIRCRAFT STALLED AT 40 KNOTS AND THE NOSE AND LEFT WING DROPPED. A NORMAL STALL RECOVERY PROCEDURES FAILED TO LIFT THE WING. THE AIRCRAFT HAD ENTERED A LEFT SPIN. THE PILOT INITIATED SPIN RECOVERY PROCEDURES, WITH STICK FULL FORWARD AND FULL RIGHT RUDDER. AFTER SEVERAL TURNS, AGGRESSIVE CONTROLS INPUTS WERE MADE WITHOUT EFFECT. THE AIRCRAFT THEN IMPACTED IN A WATER FILLED FISH POND AT THE WEST END OF THE DILLINGHAM AIRFIELD AND SANK IN 40 FEET OF WATER. THE PILOT AND PASSENGERS SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES.
