Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT IMPACTED IN A 40 DEGREE NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE FOLLOWING A STALL-SPIN. NO MECHANICAL DESCREPANCIES WERE NOTED WITH THE ACFT AND NO PRE-EXISTING PHYSICAL INCAPACITATING HISTORY OF THE PIC WAS DISCOVERED. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS PRIOR TO THIS FLT, THE PIC HAD ASKED HIS FLT INSTRUCTOR TO DEMONSTRATE 'HAMMER HEAD' STALLS. BUT THE FLT INSTRUCTOR DECLINED. WX WAS CONSIDERED GOOD VFR FOR THE SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY TRAINING FLIGHT. RADAR SHOWED THE ACFT MANEUVERING AWAY FM THE PLANNED ROUTE OF FLIGHT JUST PRIOR TO DISAPPEARING FROM RADAR CONTACT. THE IMPACT OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER RADAR CONTACT WAS LOST.
