## Analysis

WITNESSES OBSERVED THE ACFT FLYING LOW OVER A LAKE. AS IT APPROACH THE HOME OF THE PLT'S PARENTS, THE ACFT'S WINGS MOVED AS THOUGH WAVING, THEN THE ACFT ENTERED A STEEP CLIMB. AFTER REACHING ITS MAXIMUM HEIGHT FROM THE PULL-UP, THE ACFT ROLLED INTO A STEEP BANK, THEN ENTERED A STEEP DIVE & CRASHED INTO THE LAKE. ONE WITNESS REPORTED THAT AFTER THE ACFT PULLED UP, IT 'WENT STRAIGHT DOWN AS THOUGH HE WAS PRACTICING A STALL.' THE WRECKAGE WAS RETRIEVED FROM THE LAKE, BUT NO PREIMPACT PART FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION WAS FOUND.
