What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
New owner (CFII) purchased aircraft day before accident. He allowed a family member (also his student) to fly aircraft.
Both the new owner and family member (PIC) were briefed on flight characteristics from previous owner.
Local flight was going well until final approach to runway 27 and close to touch-down, the PIC let the aircraft get to slow, and then he flared too high above runway allowing aircraft to stall.
