Tight, steep, full bore circles isn't something an experienced pilot would do near hills, when there is obviously a lot of flat country nearby. More like a mechanical fault IMHO
Let's see what the investigators come back with. Non-aviators are notoriously unreliable when it comes to observing and judging flight maneuvers.
It will be interesting. Non-Aviator or not, if he was circling "FULL BORE"as they said on the video, there may have been a medical problem. If it was, I hope it is obvious enough on the autopsy that they are doing for ID or else that they look for it.
maybe the throttle cable broke?
The pilot was identified today. The aircraft was not a Cessna but a Coot A-Amphibian according to an FAA official. While Calaveras is in the Sierra foothills, there are several large reservoirs nearby where amphibious craft land.
