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
Drg a practice touch-&-go lndg, the acft bounced. The plt applied power to abort the lndg, but lost directional control of the acft. It drifted left toward trees, so he initiated a climb to fly over the obstructions. However, the acft stalled & collided with the ground after crossing over the trees.
