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
While turning base to final for landing on a private grass strip, after a personal cross country flight, the aircraft stalled and fell uncontrolled to the terrain. A post accident investigation failed to reveal any malfunction of the control systems or powerplant. The propeller blades showed evidence of considerable power being developed at impact.
