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 new owner of the acft asked the former owner to ride with him in the right seat while doing some touch and go landings. After the first circuit the former owner said he felt the pilot needed additional training before attempting to fly the acft as PIC. The second ldg resulted in a loss of control, a propeller strike, and damage to the ldg gear and fuselage. Although the new owner had received 5 hours of dual instruction in the previous 30 days, the CFI said he would not sign him off to fly the acft as PIC and was unable to let the pilot land or takeoff unassisted in 26 attempts.
