NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On February 18, 1995, approximately 1150 mountain standard time, a Cessna 150M, N45325, sustained substantial damage when it crashed after takeoff from runway 24 at the Burley, Idaho airport. The certified flight instructor and his student were fatally injured. There was no report of an ELT activating, and there was no fire. No flight plan was filed for the instructional flight, which was to be conducted under 14CFR91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. Witnesses reported that the student pilot had flown a solo flight, then had returned to the fixed base operation, where he met the instructor. According to a witness, the instructor stated that they would be going out for a series of short and soft-field takeoffs and landings, then out to the practice area for air work. A witness who observed the crash stated that "I saw the plane leaving the runway to climb to approx 2 to 400 ft. About the time the plane crossed Highland Ave the plane started a steep left hand banking turn. It stayed in this turn for about 100 feet, then turned nose down and headed straight for the ground. About half way down the nose of the plane began to come up. The plane was too close to the ground before it was able to pull out and crashed about a 45 degree down angle...." The aircraft collided with terrain southwest of the departure end of runway 24, east of the county fairgrounds. PERSONNEL INFORMATION Flight time for the certified flight instructor was obtained by reviewing a log book with a final entry dated April 29, 1992. No later log books w
