The pilot reported after a 20-minute local flight, he and the flight instructor landed and swapped seats so that the flight instructor could fly a traffic pattern from the front seat. The flight instructor flew a tight traffic pattern and as he turned from a right base leg toward the final approach, the airplane descended rapidly and impacted terrain prior to the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage.
The flight instructor did not recall the accident sequence due to his injuries. Both pilots
reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
