What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(.4) The student pilot initiated a touch and go after landing. The airplane was slow to accelerate. The flight instructor took over the flight controls. He ensured the carburetor heat was off and raised the flaps up to 20-degrees. He rotated the airplane about half way down the runway, and raised the flaps to 10-degrees. He adjusted the airplane to climb attitude upon reaching 60 mph, and raised the flaps to the full up position. The airplane reached about 50 feet, and started to lose power in a high sink rate. The CFI applied aft pressure on the control yoke to maintain a nose high attitude. The airplane collided with the ground off the end of the runway very hard. The right main landing gear separated, and the airplane came to a stop. Law enforcement personnel checked the fuel levels by turning on the master switch. The left fuel tank registered no fuel, and the right fuel tank showed about an eighth of a tank of fuel. An airframe and powerplant mechanic drained the fuel tanks to determine the remaining fuel quantity. About 2 gallons of fuel was remaining. The total fuel capacity is 49 gallons. The flight manual states useable fuel in each bay for all flight conditions is 24 gallons when completely filled. (-23) see narrative #MIA99LA060
As the FAA filed it
(.4) THE STUDENT PILOT INITIATED A TOUCH AND GO AFTER LANDING. THE AIRPLANE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TOOK OVER THE FLIGHT CONTROLS. HE ENSURED THE CARBURETOR HEAT WAS OFF AND RAISED THE FLAPS UP TO 20-DEGREES. HE ROTATED THE AIRPLANE ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY, AND RAISED THE FLAPS TO 10-DEGREES. HE ADJUSTED THE AIRPLANE TO CLIMB ATTITUDE UPON REACHING 60 MPH, AND RAISED THE FLAPS TO THE FULL UP POSITION. THE AIRPLANE REACHED ABOUT 50 FEET, AND STARTED TO LOSE POWER IN A HIGH SINK RATE. THE CFI APPLIED AFT PRESSURE ON THE CONTROL YOKE TO MAINTAIN A NOSE HIGH ATTITUDE. THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY VERY HARD. THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR SEPARATED, AND THE AIRPLANE CAME TO A STOP. LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL CHECKED THE FUEL LEVELS BY TURNING ON THE MASTER SWITCH. THE LEFT FUEL TANK REGISTERED NO FUEL, AND THE RIGHT FUEL TANK SHOWED ABOUT AN EIGHTH OF A TANK OF FUEL. AN AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT MECHANIC DRAINED THE FUEL TANKS TO DETERMINE THE REMAINING FUEL QUANTITY. ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF FUEL WAS REMAINING. THE TOTAL FUEL CAPACITY IS 49 GALLONS. THE FLIGHT MANUAL STATES USEABLE FUEL IN EACH BAY FOR ALL FLIGHT CONDITIONS IS 24 GALLONS WHEN COMPLETELY FILLED. (-23) SEE NARRATIVE #MIA99LA060
