Circumstances:
The crew departed Pyongtaek-Desiderio AAF on a local test flight. The goal of the flight was to test the aircraft after replacement stall strips had been fitted to the outer edge of the wings. In flight, the crew lost control of the airplane that entered a dive and crashed in a field, bursting into flames. Both occupants were killed.
Probable cause:
Failure of the crew to follow the procedures while attempting to create stall conditions, which caused the aircraft to enter an irrecoverable situation.
