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 instructor was demonstrating an engine out emergency to the student. The engine balked on the attempted go-around and he completed the landing. Thereafter, his first two takeoff attempts were aborted because of insufficient distance to complete the groundrun. On the next takeoff attempt, they became airborne but the nosewheel collided with a fence at the departure end of the field, the aircraft struck the ground and flipped over.
