Analysis

The student pilot, with an instructor pilot, were practicing touch & go landings. On the approach, the student allowed the speed to decrease, the acft stalled and landed hard and bounced back in the air. The student pilot added power to go around but did not lower the nose. The instructor tried to add forward control but could not overcome the strength of the student. The acft stalled again & crashed into trees to the left of the runway.
