NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On October 2, 1993, at 1330 central daylight time (CDT), a Beech BE-95, N2711Y, operated by the Midwest School of Aeronautics, Incorporated, of St. Louis, Missouri, and piloted by an airline transport rated pilot with a multi-engine student pilot who possessed a commercial pilot's certificate, was destroyed when it collided with trees and terrain. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight had not filed a flight plan. Both pilots were fatally injured. The flight departed St. Charles, Missouri, at 1230 CDT. Before departing on the training flight the pilot-in-command, or flight instructor (CFI), refueled N2711Y. He told the owner that he wanted all the fuel he could get, and that they would need it where they were going. The airplane owner said it was his understanding the CFI and multi-engine student (student)were going to the Alton, Illinois, area to carry out the training activities. N2711Y's owner said the CFI had not flown one of his company's Beech BE-95s for about one year. He stated the CFI was not an employee of his. During conversation with the owner it was revealed the CFI had difficulty starting the left engine after refueling the airplane. The owner said a fuel primer line was loose and had to be tightened before the engine could be started. Witnesses near the accident site reported hearing the airplane's engine sound change and observed it "...tail spinning... ." Two witnesses reported that N2711Y had performed a right-hand spin before colliding with the trees and terrain. At
Probable cause
was the inadequate supervision by the flight instructor which resulted in the inadvertent stall/spin by the student.
