STALL: PILOT GIVING INSTRUCTION DID NOT HOLD INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATE

摘要

History of the flight: On August 14, 2014, about 1125 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 150M was substantially damaged when it impacted terrain during the initial climb after takeoff from Mount Pleasant Regional Airport-Faison Field (LRO), Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The commercial pilot and student pilot were fatally injured. The airplane was registered to a flight school and operated by a private individual. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the local instructional flight. The flight was conducted under the provisions of Part 91. The airplane was operated by the student pilot's father, who in July 2014 employed the flight school at LRO to provide instruction to his son in the airplane. The owner of the flight school assigned the commercial pilot, who was recently hired as a flight instructor, to instruct the student. According to the student pilot's father, his son was attending college near LRO, and the commercial pilot helped him reposition the airplane to LRO for his son's convenience in the weeks that preceded the accident.
