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 acft collided with the ground during an aborted go-around. This was a supervised solo flt for practice touch and go landings. During the 1st landing attempt the plt flared too high and decided to go-around. Full power was added and as the pilot moved her hand toward the flap control the acft nose pitched up and the plt over compensated by pushing the nose down while allowing the acft to drift. The plt decided to abort the go-around and maneuvered back over the rwy withthe nose down and full power on, raised the nose as the main gear touched and the acft groundlooped and came to rest.
