They departed Gwinnett County Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, Georgia, and flew to Barrow County Airport (WDR), Winder, Georgia, and performed several circuits in the traffic pattern. While on the final approach leg of the traffic patter to runway 31, the student pilot turned the yoke to the right “and felt it give as if a cable had become detached.” The flight instructor took control of the airplane and experienced the same effects; the yoke could be turned in a “complete circle with no response” from the airplane. The airplane veered to the right and descended into trees. A post-impact fire ensued, which consumed the fuselage and wings.
