Re: Definite Stall/Spin Accident
Any news on how the pilot is doing? Slamming straight down or even slightly inverted from that height had to do a lot of damage.

Yes, I already addressed that I didn't realize it was a controlled environment. I am used to flying out of smaller airports.

Re: Definite Stall/Spin Accident
If you go full power in a 152 and you slowly stall and go full nose up, you might not see a noticeable pitch drop, but you'll enter a spin with the yaw.
After looking at the clip a few times, I am quite certain this was a full power, full nose up 'come on, climb you stupid plane'-kind of situation resulting in a stall/spin entry. At full flaps a 152 climbs, but noticeably shallower than without flaps. Especially at slow speeds. If it was a botched landing, the plane was likely very slow to being with. At that point full power likely won't give you any noticeable climb performance.
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

You can see in the video and in the stills that for whatever reason he has almost full left rudder in it.
