What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilots failed go-around attempt resulted in the airplane banking to the left and striking the runway which subsequently led to the accident. The pilot submitted the following statement: “while on an instructional dual flight with a student pilot, the student was performing a simulated engine out landing at Blairstown Airport (1N7) to runway 7. Once over the runway, I instructed the student to perform a go-around due to excessive floating down the runway. The student added full power and pulled back on the controls to initiate the go-around. Almost immediately after, the plane banked to the left of the runway. I immediately took over the controls and attempted to recover from the situation. Unfortunately, I was unable to overpower the students' excessive input and the airplane did not respond to my attempt to recover. The sequence of events occurred very rapidly, and I had minimal time to react.”
