## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) DURING THIS TRAINING FLIGHT WHILE PRACTICING TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS THE STUDENT PILOT CAME IN TOO HIGH AND FAST FOR LANDING ON RUNWAY 36 AT THE UMATILLA, FLORIDA AIRPORT (X23). WHILE ATTEMPTING A GO AROUND THE STUDENT PILOT AND THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ABOARD THE AIRCRAFT GOT TOO SLOW ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB OUT. IT IS IN THE OPINION OF THIS INSPECTOR THAT A SLOW CLIMB WAS CAUSED BY NON-RETRACTION OF THE TRAILING EDGE FLAPS. WHEN FOUND BY THE STUDENT AND THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT, AN IMMEDIATE RETRACTION OF THE FLAPS WAS CONDUCTED. THE RETRACTION OF THE FLAPS INCREASED THE STALL SPEED OF THE AIRCRAFT TO THE POINT THAT THE AIRCRAFT STALLED AND FROM STATEMENTS BEGAN TO ROLL AND PITCH OFF LIKE THE INDICATIONS OF A SPIN. THIS STALL/SPIN HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 100 TO 150 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND. THIS LOW ALTITUDE DID NOT ALLOW ENOUGH TIME FOR RECOGNITION AND RECOVERY FROM THE STALL PRIOR TO THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTING THE GROUND. AIRCRAFT WAS DESTROYED ON IMPACT.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

Probable cause: The flight instructor's delayed remedial action during a go-around, which resulted in a failure to maintain sufficient airspeed to avoid a stall/mush, and an in-flight collision with terrain.
