Accident Overview
An aircraft was conducting a touch-and-go landing when it subsequently ran off the departure end of the runway and collided with a ditch during an aborted takeoff. The incident occurred after a student pilot performed the landing and prepared the aircraft for takeoff under the supervision of an instructor.
Sequence of Events
According to the instructor, the student made the landing and then configured the aircraft for takeoff. Power was applied, but as the aircraft accelerated to 45 knots, the instructor assumed control and initiated an aborted takeoff. The instructor stated that he did not believe the aircraft was producing full power at that time.
Post-Accident Findings
Following the accident, the engine was tested and ran normally, delivering 2,350 RPM after the damaged propeller was replaced. No other issues with the engine were reported.
Conclusion
The accident report provides no analysis of causal factors. The instructor's perception of insufficient power was noted, but post-accident engine testing did not reveal any anomalies.
