Read the full NTSB narrative

THE STUDENT PLT HAD RENTED THE ACFT TO PRACTICE BASIC MANEUVERS PRIOR TO A FLT SCHEDULED THE FOLLOWING DAY WITH HIS INSTRUCTOR TO RECEIVE HIS ENDORSEMENT FOR A CHECK RIDE. WITNESSES IN THE AREA OBSERVED THE ACFT PRACTICING STALLS, & ON THE FINAL MANEUVER, THE ACFT ENTERED A RIGHT SPIN WHICH CONTINUED UNCORRECTED UNTIL IMPACT WITH THE WATER. AS THE ACFT ENTERED THE SPIN, THE PLT CALLED ON THE UNICOM 'MAC(FBO OPERATOR) I'M IN TROUBLE, I'M IN A SPIN, I'M GOING DOWN.' THE FBO OPERATOR RAN TO THE UNICOM & TRIED TO TALK THE PLT OUT OF THE SPIN. WITNESSES OBSERVED THE ACFT SPIN A MINIMUM OF 8 TO 10 TURNS PRIOR TO IMPACT. NO EVIDENCE WAS FOUND IN THE PLT'S LOGBOOK TO INDICATE THAT HE EVER RECEIVED A DEMONSTRATION OF, OR TRAINING IN, SPIN RECOVERY.
