## Probable cause

THE PILOT FAILED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE DURING LANDING. RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE EXCESSIVE AIRSPEED.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - flare/touchdown
  - airspeed - excessive, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - aircraft control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
  - object - aircraft parked/standing
  - object - building(nonresidential)

## 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.
