## 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.

## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
