Probable cause
The failure of the instructor pilot to take proper remedial action during a takeoff resulting in a loss of airplane control and subsequent inadvertant stall. Factors related to the accident were the instructor's lack of total, recent and instructional flight time in this make and model airplane.
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 student started the takeoff roll. The instructor said, 'it began to track to the left of centerline. A correction was applied, and the aircraft turned back to the right and proceeded off the runway...I indicated verbally...that I had control of the aircraft. I attempted to maneuver the aircraft into the flight regime. The plane...stalled...shortly after lift off.' In this make and model airplane, the instructor had a total flight time of 2.6 hours, with 1.4 hours in the last 90 days. He had no instructional flight time in this airplane.
