THE PIC WAS A DESIGNATED PILOT EXAMINER. THE PURPOSE OF THE FLT WAS TO GIVE THE PIC OPPORTUNITY TO FLY THE ACFT FROM THE REAR SEAT AS HE WAS PLANNING TO GIVE FLT INSTRUCTION IN THE ACFT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. AS FAR AS COULD BE DETERMINED, THE PIC HAD NEVER FLOWN THE ACFT FROM THE REAR SEAT. THE ACFT IMPACTED THE GROUND IN A FLAT SPIN.
