What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
CFI and student had been practicing pattern work, and CFI was considering soloing the student. They made a full stop landing at 6B6 and fueled the aircraft with approximately 14-15 gallons of fuel. Both wing sumps were sampled prior to first flight, but not the second fueling; fuel was clean and visibly free of water. The two boarded and departed to do some more pattern work. CFI had wanted to observe a go-around performed by the student on this session. privacy data omitted Was at the controls, the aircraft was at approximately 20-30 feet when she flared the plane and reduced power. The student made a flare that was too high, ballooning.privacy data omitted Noticed the flair was too excessive and instructed her to nose it over slightly and put power back in. He told her ?go-around? The student pitched up steeply, at this point it was too late and the aircraft entered a stall and the CFI took over, but was too late to keep the aircraft from stalling at a height of approx. 30-40 ft in the CFI?s estimation. The CFI could not recall what part of his aircraft impacted first. The flap setting at the time of the go-around was 40 degrees. No loss of power was observed by PIC. The aircraft impacted the ground off the right hand side of runway 03 going north. The aircraft slid or bounced another 30 feet where the propeller impacted the back end of another Cessna 150 (N707CF) shearing the tail off forward of the vertical fin. Damage to aircraft N5443Q was substantial to include the nose gear being torn off, firewall bending and substantial engine mount damage. Additional damage seen throughout the airplane with bending at tail boom.
