## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AN INSTRUCTOR PILOT AND STUDENT PILOT FLEW THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE JOHNSON COUNTY EXECUTIVE AIRPORT (KOJC) TO LEES SUMMIT MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KLXT).  THE INTENT OF THEIR FLIGHT TO KLXT WAS TO PRACTICE LANDINGS.  THEY PERFORMED APPROXIMATELY SIX TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS AND ON THE SEVENTH LANDING THEY LOST CONTROL DURING AN ATTEMPTED GO AROUND MANEUVER.  THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT EXPLAINS THAT DURING THE LANDING THE STUDENT FLARED THE AIRCRAFT A LITTLE HIGHER THAN USUAL, RESULTING IN THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCING ON THE RUNWAY.  INSTRUCTION WAS GIVEN TO ADD A LITTLE POWER TO CUSHION THE AIRCRAFT RETURNING BACK TO THE GROUND.  THE AIRCRAFT THEN VEERED TO THE RIGHT OF THE RUNWAY AND THE DECISION WAS MADE BY THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT TO ABORT THE LANDING AND GO AROUND.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO LOSE CONTROL DEPARTING THE EAST SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AT THE INTERSECTION OF RUNWAY 36 AND TAXIWAY B.  THE AIRCRAFT THEN TRAVELLED ACROSS A GRASSY AREA COLLIDING WITH A TAXIWAY LIGHT THEN A TAXIWAY SIGN, AND THEN TRAVELLED ACROSS A TAXIWAY AND RAMP, CONTINUING BETWEEN A LIGHT POLE AND POWER POLE AT THE EDGE OF THE RAMP PRIOR TO TRAVELLING DOWN A GRASSY HILL.  THE AIRCRAFT FINALLY CAME TO REST AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL.
