## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - in flight, maneuvering - turn to landing area (emergency)
  - emergency procedure - simulated, pilot in command(cfi) (contributing factor)
  - aborted takeoff - initiated, dual student
  - airspeed - not maintained, dual student (cause)
  - remedial action - delayed, pilot in command(cfi) (cause)
  - stall/spin - inadvertent, dual student
- In flight collision with terrain/water, descent - uncontrolled
  - terrain condition - water,glassy

## 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.
