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 pilot was making touch and go landings when, during the climb-out, the aircraft stalled and entered a spin. There was no recovery and the aircraft collided with the ground. The pilot stated that the engine quit; however, an engine teardown failed to disclose any failure/malfunction.
