Factual narrative
THE PILOT WAS ON A PLEASURE FLIGHT TO PRACTICE AEROBATIC MANEUVERS. HE HELD A CURRENT CERTIFICATE OF WAIVER WHICH AUTHORIZED HIM TO PRACTICE LOW LEVEL AEROBATICS BELOW 1500 FT ABOVE THE SURFACE. FOUR KNOWN WITNESSES OBSERVED THE AIRCRAFT PULL UP FROM A LOW ALTITUDE, THEN FALL AND SPIN TO THE GROUND. ONE WITNESS, A PRIVATE PILOT, ROPORTED THAT THE PILOT PULLED THE PLANE UP, AS IF HE WAS PERFORMING A LOOP. AT THE TOP OF THE CLIMB, THE NOSE CAME DOWN, AND REPORTEDLY, THE PLANE BEGAN TO SPIN INVERTED. DURING AN INVESTIGATION, NO EVIDENCE OF A MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE OF THE ENGINE OR AIRFRAME WAS FOUND EXCEPT FOR IMPACT DAMAGE.
