NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On December 3, 2000, at 1515 central standard time (cst), a Beech 95-B55, N7678N, sustained substantial damage during an in-flight collision with the terrain following a loss of aircraft control while maneuvering near Milltown, Wisconsin. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The flight was operating under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91 and was not on a flight plan. The certified flight instructor (CFI) and the dual student were fatally injured. The local instructional flight departed the St. Paul Downtown Holman Field Airport, St. Paul, Minnesota, about 1448. Aircraft radar track data for the period before and after the reported accident time was obtained from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control. The obtained data indicated there was a single aircraft, which was transmitting a visual flight rules (VFR) 1200 transponder beacon code, maneuvering near the accident location about the time of the accident. The last two minutes of radar data were recorded as: (hhmm:ss) (North Latitude) (West Longitude) (Pressure Altitude) 1512:02 45.550830 92.463060 6,000 1512:23 45.550830 92.468890 6,100 1512:33 45.548890 92.468890 6,000 1512:43 45.546390 92.469170 6,000 1512:53 45.542500 92.466390 6,000 1513:03 45.540280 92.463060 6,000 1513:13 45.538060 92.460280 6,000 1513:23 45.536110 92.460560 6,100 1513:33 45.536110 92.457500 6,100 1513:44 45.533890 92.454720 6,100 1513:54 45.531940 92.454440 5,800 1514:04 45.529440 92.443060 4,500 1514:14 45.533610 92.448890 3,200 A plot of the aircraft radar track data was gener
Probable cause
The flight instructor's inadequate supervision of the flight, the flightcrew not maintaining control of the airplane, and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action which resulted in the inadvertent spin. Factors to the accident were the inadvertent spin and the CFI's decision to operate the airplane with the flight instructor's seat secured in the full-aft position.
