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 stated he was too high on final approach so he attempted a go-around. As he applied power, the nose increased in pitch attitude and the empennage struck the runway. The aircraft started to turn to the left, the left wing struck the runway followed by the right wing. The nose gear then collided with the runway and collapsed.
