Circumstances:
The crew was performing a training flight. Shortly after takeoff from Groningen-Eelde Airport, while climbing to a height of some 15 metres, the crew initiated a sharp turn when the single engine aircraft stalled and crashed in a field. Both occupants were unhurt while the aircraft was destroyed.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the airplane stalled while completing a sharp turn at an altitude that did not allow the crew to expect a stall recovery.
