Accident Sequence
According to a ground witness and the student pilot, upon touchdown the aircraft began to bounce. After several bounces, the pilot began a go-around after reaching midfield. Following liftoff, the aircraft began to sink and collided with the airport boundary fence.
Go-Around Procedure
During the go-around, the pilot applied full throttle without closing the carburetor heat and immediately raised the flaps. The source indicates that full throttle with carburetor heat on would significantly reduce engine power, and raising the flaps would cause the aircraft to develop a high sink rate under those conditions.
Pilot Training
The pilot reported that she had experienced bounced landings and had performed go-arounds during her training, but during those times she was directed by the instructor in the recovery process and she had never received formal instruction in the recovery process. The pilot's flight record disclosed no evidence that she received any instruction in these areas. The pilot's logbook disclosed three entries where she received training in go-around maneuvers.
