Injuries2 fatal
Phase of Flight-
ConditionsVMC
OperationFAR 091
Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from trees at the end of the runway due to spatial disorientation during initial climb in dark night conditions. Also causal was the flight instructor’s inadequate monitoring, which did not identify and prevent the descent and subsequent collision with trees.
