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 student plt stated that the landing approach was normal until the acft was over the rwy threshold; at a height of 35 ft, he encountered moderate to strong turbulence and afterwards the acft pitched up ten degrees and entered into a moderately steep left bank. The plt applied full power and attempted to do a go-around; however, the acft hit the left edge of the rwy about 500 ft from the approach end of the rwy. The acft spun around and came to rest in a grass/mud area about 150 ft left of the rwy.
