## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - in flight, go-around (vfr)
  - go-around - initiated, pilot in command
  - raising of flaps - excessive, pilot in command (cause)
- Hard landing, descent - uncontrolled
  - stall/mush - inadvertent, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - remedial action - not possible, pilot in command

## Analysis

THE ACFT WAS FAST AND LONG DURING A LANDING ATTEMPT ACCORDING TO THE STUDENT PLT. HE ELECTED TO MAKE A GO-AROUND BUT IN DOING SO HE RAISED THE FLAPS TOO RAPIDLY AND THE ACFT LANDED HARD AFTER WHICH IT BOUNCED INTO THE DIRT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE RWY.
