Analysis
The student plt and his pax, a private plt, flew to another arpt and made several takeoffs and landings. Then returned to the private airstrip where their flight had originated. The student plt was at the controls on this apch. After touchdown the acft became airborne after passing over some bumps in the runway and he added power. The acft was landed again and the brakes were used in an attempt to stop the acft. The brakes pulled to the right and the acft swerved into a tree stump then nosed into a bank along side the runway.
