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 Aeronca 11AC was maneuvering downwind for landing. The pilot made a left turn towards the runway to tighten the pattern. While in close proximity to a house and the runway, at a low altitude the pilot elected to make a steep left 270 degree turn, opposite the downwind course. About half way into the turn the pilot lost control of the aircraft, stalled and crashed into the second floor of a house.
