Incident Overview
A student pilot conducting a landing at a busy airport experienced a runway excursion after attempting a touch-and-go maneuver. The aircraft collided with a fence beyond the departure end of the runway.
Sequence of Events
According to the investigation, the student pilot initially requested a touch-and-go landing. The air traffic controller instructed the pilot to perform a full-stop landing and advised that she would be told when to depart. Subsequently, the controller cleared another aircraft to land behind the accident airplane on the same runway, and cleared a third aircraft for a low approach on a runway that intersected the departure end of the accident runway.
Shortly after the student pilot touched down, the controller issued a clearance for a touch-and-go. The student pilot attempted to respond but fumbled the radio microphone. Believing she had been cleared, the student pilot elected to proceed with the touch-and-go. However, there was insufficient runway remaining to become airborne, and the aircraft overran the runway and collided with a fence.
Outcome
The aircraft sustained damage from the collision with the fence. No further information about injuries or other consequences was provided in the source.
