Highest injury level
Fatal
The purpose of the flight was to show the passenger the characteristics of a tailwheel aircraft. After a normal approach and touchdown the aircraft was observed to go-around and fly level at a low height above the runway. The aircraft was then seen to climb steeply, stall, and to impact the ground in a steep nose down attitude whilst rotating to the right. No fault was found with the aircraft that could have contributed to the accident. The pilot was inexperienced on the aircraft type and did not maintain adequate flying speed when manoeuvring the aircraft after take-off.
