The pilot and the pilot under instruction were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 flight. Automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) data captured the airplane as it departed McClellan Airfield (MCC) Sacramento, California about 0707. The airplane then traveled to Calaveras County Airport (CPU), San Andreas, California, where it arrived about 0726, landed, then departed. It then traveled to Modesto City-County Airport (MOD), Modesto, California, where it arrived about 0750, flew over the runway and then departed. The airplane continued to Tracy Municipal Airport (TCY), Tracy, California where it arrived about 0811. The airplane landed, took off staying in the traffic pattern, landed again, then departed about 0823. The airplane climbed to an altitude of 4,800 ft mean sea level (msl), maintained about 180 knots ground speed, and proceeded to the northeast. About 0834, the airplane, while about 4,750 ft and 173 knots, performed a 360° turn to the right followed by a 360° turn to the left (figure 1). After the 360° turns the airplane continued to the northeast, climbed to 5,000 ft and maintained about 170 knots. ADS-B data showed that at 0837:34, the airplane reduced its speed to about 80 knots.

Probable cause
The certified flight instructor's failure to maintain control of the airplane and inadequate supervision of the flight, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall/spin from which he could not recover.
