Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The instructor (CFI) was instructing the student plt, who was the new owner of the acft. The CFI rprtd the acft was 'very close to gross weight due to having so much fuel aboard and the density altitude was high.' He estd the density altitude was 7600 ft. drg takeoff, the acft climbed out of ground effect, then 'began to sink.' The student plt pulled the nose up to stop the sink rate & the stall warning sounded. The CFI took control drg the 'sink', & after flying some distance over rising terrain at about 20 ft AGL, he elected to land in a plowed fld. Drg touchdown, the main gear dug into soft terrain & collapsed. An exam of the acft revealed no evidence of a preimpact failure or deficiency. The CFI had only one previous flt in this make & model of acft.
