GREAT LAKES ADAMS 2T-1

Analysis

THE AMATEUR BUILT AIRCRAFT IMPACTED IN AN OPEN FARM FIELD. ALTHOUGH WITNESSES DID NOT AGREE ON THE ALTITUDE THE AIRCRAFT WAS FLYING AT, THEY ALL STATED THAT THE GREAT LAKES 2T-1 WAS SPINNING BEFORE IT COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND. ONE WITNESS INDICATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN A FLAT SPIN. THE PLT, WHO HAD 10 HRS OF FLT EXPERIENCE IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL AIRCRAFT, COULD NOT RECALL THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE ACCIDENT. EXAMINATION OF THE WRECKAGE DID NOT REVEAL ANY EVIDENCE OF PREEXISTING DEFECTS OR MALFUNCTIONS OF THE AIRFRAME OR ENGINE.
