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 27 hour student plt aborted his landing when the acft began to balloon. The plt retracted the flaps and the acft settled hard onto the rwy and bounced back into the air. The plt reacted by pulling back on the yoke and inadvertently applied left aileron when he leaned left to visually check the left main gear. The acft collided with a fence and nosed over.
