Narrative:
A Cessna 152 II impacted the ground close to the runway at Rajshahi-Shah Makhdum Airport, Bangladesh during a training flight.
The Flight Instructor was demonstrating a low altitude practice forced landing to the student pilot. He made an early right turn after take-off towards the right down-wind position to land on the opposite runway. The altitude was so low and the down-wind position so close that before the aircraft could complete the reciprocal turn and could come over the runway, it impacted the ground adjacent to the runway edge and caught fire instantaneously. The student pilot died in the accident. The instructor pilot survived with severe burn injuries, only to succumb after 43 days. The aircraft was completely destroyed due to the impact force and post-impact fire.

Primary Causes
a) The accident had occurred due to an unauthorized exercise undertaken to demonstrate PFL from a very low altitude and close downwind position.
b) A go-around or discontinuation was not possible due to a probable unauthorized engine shut down on the downwind position.
Primary Contributory Causes
a) Transient fatigue of the Instructor Pilot due to insufficient rest and long working hours on the previous duty.
b) Insufficient control of the operator in regard to operations and flight training.
