Factual narrative

THE PLT CROSSED THE ARPT AT MIDFIELD AND MADE A LEFT TURN FOR A CLOSE IN DOWNWIND. WITNESSES ESTIMATED THAT HE MADE A 180 DEG DESCENDING TURN TO FINAL. WHILE ON FINAL THE PLT OBSERVED ANOTHER ACFT WHICH WAS ALREADY ON FINAL SLIGHTLY AHEADAND SLIGHTLY BELOW HIS ACFT. THE PLT PERFORMED A HARD PULL UP TO AVOID THE OTHER ACFT AND ALLOWED HIS ACFT TO STALL WITHOUT SUFFICIENT ALT TO EFFECT RECOVERY BEFORE GROUND IMPACT OCCURRED.
