Summary
A probe determined that a flight teacher, who previously violated maneuver restrictions, probably performed spin recovery drills when a light aircraft went down, resulting in the deaths of three men. The Cessna 210N, which was not certified for deliberate spinning, departed from Goolwa Airport before hitting the water close to the Murray River mouth. The instructor's record of spin-related infractions likely encouraged him to initiate spins at decreasing altitudes. It is probable that the commercial pilot failed to manage the recovery during the initial phase of the spin, and the instructor did not step in soon enough to stop the spin from reaching full development. The wreckage was located at a well-known fishing area where the Murray River joins the Southern Ocean.
