Incident
The aircraft was conducting a landing when it touched down in a bouncy manner. After the bounce, a go-around was initiated. During the go-around, the aircraft entered a left turn and subsequently crashed into trees and the ground.
Timeline
Prior to the accident, the aircraft had completed several landings with a student pilot and a certified flight instructor (CFI) on board. After those landings, the CFI exited the aircraft. The student pilot then attempted another landing, which was bouncy. Power was added for a go-around. Shortly after, the aircraft seemed to become uncontrolled. The CFI, who was still on the ground, used a handheld radio to instruct the student pilot to level the wings. There was no response from the aircraft, and it continued turning left until it struck the trees.
Investigation
An autopsy was performed on the pilot after the accident. The examination revealed that the pilot had suffered a heart attack. Investigators believe the heart attack occurred just after the go-around was initiated, and that it incapacitated the pilot, preventing any response to the CFI's instructions.
