Incident Overview
The aircraft landed hard on Runway 21. According to the certified flight instructor, during the landing flare of a full flap landing, the student pilot allowed the aircraft to yaw 45 degrees off the runway heading. Upon noticing the deviation, the CFI immediately initiated a go-around. The go-around procedure executed by the CFI involved applying full power, retracting the last notch of flaps, and climbing. However, the stall warning activated. In response, the CFI pitched the aircraft nose down. Subsequently, the aircraft impacted the ground three times before coming to a full stop.
Pilot's Operating Handbook Guidance
The aircraft's pilot's operating handbook provides amplified procedures for balked landings, also known as go-arounds. Specifically, the handbook states: "In a balked landing climb, the wing flap setting should be reduced to 20 degrees immediately after full power is applied. Upon reaching a safe airspeed, the flaps should be slowly retracted to the full up position."
