What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On October 21, 2012, N7250S a Cessna CE-150 originated a 14 CFR part 91 flight from marshfield, MA (ghg) to Mansfield, MA (1B9) for the purpose of flight training. There was one certified flight instructor (CFI) and one student pilot on board the aircraft. The student was performing a touch and go maneuver on runway 32. The CFI stated that after touching down 50-100 feet past the displaced threshold of runway 32, the student raised the flaps, placed the carburetor heat to the cold position, and applied full power. The CFI states the aircraft lifted off about 800 feet from the displaced threshold of runway 32. The CFI further states the aircraft climbed at 70 miles per hour (mph) in a normal climb to approximately 250 feet of altitude. He says while at 250 feet and at 70 mph the vertical speed dropped from +600 feet per minute to -200 per minute descent. He verified full throttle over the numbers of runway 14 and called for the controls. The CFI pitched up to try to clear the trees. He states the stall warning horn sounded and pitched the nose over to maintain level flight as the aircraft settled into the trees. Robert welsh jr. the airport manager was a witness to the accident. He stated that he observed the aircraft from the fixed base operations (FBO) doing what appeared to be a touch and go on runway 32. He stated that the aircraft appeared to be 30-50 feet in the air about 2/3 of the way down the runway. He states that he looked away for a moment and turned back when a CFI stated "look he is not climbing". As he turned, the aircraft had passed the end of the runway and was entering and area beyond the runway past a line of trees. The aircraft was still below the tops of the trees. He stated someone working on an aircraft outside of the FBO said that he heard a loud bang. The CFI record indicates a weight of 190 pounds. The student pilot records indicate a weight of 195 pounds.
