The airplane entered a sharp left bank turn over the airport at a low altitude before impacting the ground with the engine operating. The airplane wreckage was resting in a nose-down, left-wing-low orientation that was consistent with a stall. Examination of the wreckage revealed no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
