Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO STALL AT AN ALTITUDE WHICH WAS TOO LOW TO EFFECT RECOVERY BEFORE GROUND IMPACT OCCURRED. HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PERFORMING VMC TEST AND MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE SINGLE ENGINE CLIMBS DURING THE TEST FLIGHT. WITNESS DESCRIPTION OF THE AIRCRAFTS MOVEMENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ACCIDENT SEQUENCE SUGGESTS THAT THE VMC TEST WERE IN PROGRESS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.
