## Sequence of events

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

- Loss of control - in flight, approach - vfr pattern - final approach
  - airspeed(vso) - not maintained, dual student (cause)
  - supervision - inadequate, pilot in command(cfi) (cause)
  - stall - not corrected (cause)
- In flight collision with terrain/water, descent - uncontrolled

## Analysis

WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH, THE INSTRUCTOR NOTICED THE AIRSPEED FALL BELOW 55 KNOTS. HE TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE FROM THE STUDENT. THE INSTRUCTOR PUSHED FORWARD ON THE YOKE AND ADDED FULL POWER TO REGAIN AIRSPEED. HE LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE AND IT COLLIDED WITH THE TERRAIN IN AN UNCONTROLLED DESCENT. THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT.
