Read the full NTSB narrative
DURING TAKEOFF, THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED A FOG BANK NEAR THE END OF THE RUNWAY WHILE THE STUDENT WAS AT THE CONTROLS. THE STUDENT RELEASED THE YOKE AND THOUGHT THE INSTRUCTOR HAD ASSUMED CONTROL. THE INSTRUCTOR REPORTED THAT HE WAS NOT PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION AND DID NOT TAKE CONTROL UNTIL THE STALL WARNING HORN SOUNDED. INITIALLY THE INSTRUCTOR FELT SPATIALLY DISORIENTED. AS THE NOSE STARTED DOWN DURING RECOVERY, THE INSTRUCTOR OBTAINED VISUAL REFERENCES WHICH HELPED. WHILE RECOVERING, THE PLANE STRUCK THE GABLES ON THE END OF A MOTEL AND CAME TO REST ON THE ROOF OF AN ADJOINING STRUCTURE.
