What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The student was the pilot flying on final approach to wilgrove airpark runway 17 when the flight instructor noticed the aircraft was too slow and told the student to apply full power and go-around. When the student applied full power the instructor noticed the pitch angle was too great and he pushed the yoke forward to lower the nose. The aircraft abruptly settled to the runway, causing the nose gear to collapse. The aircraft departed the left side of the runway and came to rest after the left wing struck a tree approximately 65 feet from the runway centerline. Propeller ground scars were noted between the runway and the final resting place of the aircraft. A post impact fire under the cowling was extinguished by the student pilot.
