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 plt stated that he turned a long final apch due to other traffic in the pattern. He only saw one other acft in front of him. He was approximately 200 feet from the end of the runway when he felt the impact as the two acft collided. He then attempted to go around, but due to the damaged propeller, he could not get enough power, so he landed in front of the other acft & ran into the grass off the side of the runway.
The instructor pilot stated that the student was flying the acft, & on short final apch, when he felt the collision between the acft, he took over from the student & landed straight ahead on the runway.
