## Narrative

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

ON 27 JULY 2023, A CESSNA 152 DEPARTED 14A (LAKE NORMAN AIRPARK) FOR N92 (LANEY'S AIRPORT) TO CONDUCT FLIGHT TRAINING AT APPROXIMATELY 1200 HRS LOCAL EDT WITH 1 CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR (CFI) AND 1 COMMERCIAL STUDENT ON BOARD.

WITH THE COMMERCIAL STUDENT PILOT AT THE CONTROLS DURING THE APPROACH INTO LANEY'S AIRPORT RUNWAY 13, THE CFI DETERMINED THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOO HIGH AND FAST TO CONDUCT THE PLANNED SHORT FIELD LANDING.  WITH THE AIRCRAFT 1/3 TO 1/2 INTO THE LENGTH OF THE RUNWAY AT 20 FEET OF ALTITUDE, THE CFI INSTRUCTED THE STUDENT TO GO AROUND.  WITH THE FLAPS AT 30 DEGREES, FULL POWER WAS APPLIED BY THE STUDENT AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS PITCHED FOR VX.  WITH A POSITIVE, BUT POOR CLIMB RATE ACHIEVED, THE CFI TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT, AND INCREASED THE ANGLE OF ATTACK SLIGHTLY WHEN HE DETERMINED THE AIRCRAFT MIGHT NOT CLEAR THE TREES AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT TIRES AND THEN LEFT WING STRUCK THE TOP OF THE TREES AND THE AIRCRAFT FELL TO THE GROUND INVERTED.  BOTH THE CFI AND THE STUDENT PILOT EXITED THE AIRCRAFT WITH MINOR INJURIES.   REFERENCE SAS TASK:  T-EA68-FY23-1771
