## Narrative

THE STUDENT PILOT DID NOT NOTICE MEN AND A TRUCK WERE ON, OR NEAR, THE RUNWAY AS HE WAS TOUCHING DOWN. THE STUDENT SWERVED LEFT TO AVOID THE TRUCK. THE PROPELLER STRUCK AN OBJECT AS THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE STUDENT APPLIED POWER, AND TOOK OFF FROM THE DIRT ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY. HE NOTICED THE AIRSPEED WAS LOWER THAN NORMAL AND THE AIRPLANE DID NOT SEEM TO CLIMB AS IT SHOULD. HE LOWERED THE NOSE AND GAINED AIRSPEED ABOUT 50 TO 100 FEET OVER THE GROUND AND THEN BEGAN A CLIMB.

THE POWER WAS REDUCED TO 2200 RPM DUE TO VIBRATION AND RPM OVERSPEED. THE STUDENT LANDED AT ODO AROUND 0915 CDT.
