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 purpose of the flight was to give the pvt plt a recurrency checkride as required by the civil air patrol. The commercial rated check plt is not a CFI. According to the check plt the pvt plt was attempting a touch and go landing. The pvt plt flared too high, the acft bounced and he failed to raise the flaps when go-around was initiated. Acft became airborne at a high angle of attack at a slow airspeed. The check plt took control of the acft and the acft settled to the ground off the rwy. The acft struck an embankment and a ditch. The wind conditions at the time of landingwere gusty and blowing as a crosswind in relation to the landing runway.
