## Probable cause

THE STUDENT PILOT LANDED LONG AND DELAYED APPLYING POWER DURING THE GROUND ROLL OF THE TOUCH-AND-GO LANDING.

## Sequence of events

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

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - proper touchdown point - not attained, pilot in command (cause)
  - throttle/power control - delayed, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - abort - performed, pilot in command
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - ditch

## Analysis

THE STUDENT PLT STATED THAT SHE LANDED LONG DURING THE SECOND TOUCH-&-GO LANDING, WAS SLOW TO ADVANCE THE THROTTLE. AFTER ROTATION, SHE THOUGHT THE ACFT WOULD NOT CLEAR OBSTACLES AHEAD & ABORTED THE TAKEOFF. THE ACFT ENTERED GROUND EFFECT & FLOATED, & SHE APPLIED FWD ELEVATOR. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN, BOUNCED, TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN, THEN TRAVELLED OFF THE RWY COLLIDING WITH A DITCH.
