What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During a 14CFR part 91 training flight, a/c crashed 1 mile west of 7G0 due to probable fuel starvation. Both pilots onboard were seriously injured and the aircraft received substantial damage. Significant observations of this inspector: 1) fuel was insufficient for duration of flight. 2) flaps were not used during emergency landing. 3) no shoulder harnesses were installed and would have prevented many of the more serious injuries. 4)angle of impact was consistent with a stall and no spin. Accident was survivable due to low altitude at the time of stall. Impact forces would have been reduced if aircraft had impacted at a lower angle in controlled flight resulting in a longer skid.
