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 acft descended to ground impact in a steep turn while practicing lazy eight maneuvers. The last turn was very steep at low alt and the acft disappeared behind trees. The plt was reportedly checking the acft's stability for the owner. The ground impact angle was 65-85 degrees and the acft only moved about 4 ft after impact
