NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On October 19, 2000, about 1015 central daylight time, a Beech 95-C55, N782B, piloted by a certified flight instructor with a dual student aboard, was destroyed following an uncontrolled descent, and impact with terrain near Homer, Nebraska. The instructional flight was operating under 14 CFR Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. No flight plan was on file. The local flight departed from Sioux Gateway Airport (SUX), near Sioux City, Iowa, about 0953 and was reported to be to practicing stalls west of SUX. A lineman at the fixed based operator stated: The pilot asked me to top the plane and then put it away. I filled both wings (total of 52 gals), cleaned the windshield and the plane was then put in the hanger. The plane seemed to be in perfect condition. Nothing unusual. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) air traffic controller stated: Baron 782B called with information Bravo wanting to taxi to runway 17 going northwest to the west practice area. I told Baron 782B to taxi to runway 17 and asked if he wanted flight following. He (N782B) said he didn't. Another air traffic controller stated: N782B called me ready for departure on runway 17. I issued N782B the wind [and] cleared him for take off. After he was airborne I approved a right turn out of the traffic pattern. A witness stated that he heard airplane sounds and shut his pick up truck off to listen to the airplane. He said that he heard sounds like stall and recovery sounds where power was reduced and power was added. He stated that he observed the airpla
Probable cause
The inadequate remedial action the flightcrew had during the stall recovery maneuver and the flight instructor's inadequate supervision. A factor was the intentional stall the flightcrew was performing.
