So-called over-the-top or cross-control stall accidents
have been common among general aviation pilots for years. But no
one has ever really documented what happens in one — until now.
Thanks the widespread use of glass cockpits, this fatal stall accident
has been extraordinarily well-documented by accident investigators
and includes a video re-creation.
Aviation Safety magazine walks you through the accident
in this video.

the January 2010 issue of Aviation Safety, the editors also
interviewed John King and Rich Stowell, two veteran flight instructors
who discuss the stall and spin training.
