Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The canadian private pilot (plt) & his canadian instructor (CFI) were on a training flt, practicing a soft field, touch-and-go landing. (The plt was in training for a commercial certificate.) While landing in a x-wind, the plt allowedthe acft to contact the rwy 3 times, with the last touchdown being harder than intended. The plt saw trees at the end of the rwy & elected to abort the takeoff portion of the touch-and-go. He applied brakes, and when the CFI realized the situation, there was insufficient rwy remaining to takeoff or to stop without overrunning. The acft continued off the rwy & hit a ditch.
