Analysis
While taking off from a lake, the instructor reduced the power to simulate a forced landing at about 200 ft AGL. He reported that the student elected to make a 180 deg turn to land. He stated that during the turn, the student brought the nose up and the aircraft entered a stall/spin and crashed in the water. Reportedly, there would have been sufficient room on the lake to land straight ahead.
