Probable cause
The pilot failed to maintain control of the airplane during landing. Related to the accident was the excessive airspeed.
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 pilot was practicing takeoffs and landings on a 1760 foot long airstrip. He stated that as he was in the flare/touchdown on the third full stop landing, 'he had no control and was moving fast.' Subsequently, the airplane collided with a parked single engine Cessna, then it struck an office building. The pilot reported that there was no mechanical malfunction.
