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 acft collided with trees after running off the end of the rwy during an aborted takeoff. The student plt made 2 touch and go landings and taxied in to have his seat fixed. After the repair he taxied out and held for about 5 minutes for traffic. After takeoff the engine quit at about 25 ft AGL. The plt elected to land on the remaining rwy. As he landed the engine caught and the plt cut the throttle and applied brakes. The acft overran the rwy, hit a tree and nosed over. Examination of the engine revealed 'o' compression in the #3 cylinder. No other abnormalities were found in the engine but an oil analysis indicated higher than normal metal wear from rotating components.
