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
Upon request from his CFI the student pilot was performing a simulated soft fld takeoff. The student failed to extend the flaps to the recommended 15 degrees and the CFI elected to allow the takeoff to continue flaps up for training purposes. As the acft accelerated the student abruptly raised the nose. The acft became airborne and rolled right to a heading about 45 degrees off the rwy. Control of the acft was taken over by the CFI who flew the acft nose high through a fence and into an adjacent field.
