On August 17, 1993, a Grumman AA-5 (registration N11LT) operated by 11 Lima Tango Inc. was involved in an aviation accident near Delray Beach, FL. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND'S/FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE HIS INTENTIONS WITH THE STUDENT PILOT TO EFFECT A POSITIVE TRANSFER OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS, AND IMPROPER HANDLING OF THE AIRPLANE ON LANDING ROLL OUT, RESULTING IN AN ON GROUND COLLISION WITH A… This summary draws on records from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) historical archive.
During a full stop landing, the airplane bounced and yawed right. Despite rudder and brake application, it skidded sideways. After the instructor took control, the student increased throttle while the instructor reduced power, leading to an overrun and fence collision.
Incident Details
A student pilot, accompanied by a flight instructor who was following through on the flight controls, was performing a full stop landing. Upon touchdown, the airplane bounced and yawed to the right.
Pilot Actions
In response to the yaw, both the student pilot and the flight instructor applied left rudder and brakes. This caused the airplane to begin skidding sideways. At that point, the flight instructor assumed control of the airplane without informing the student pilot.
Power Changes and Outcome
Subsequently, the student pilot increased the throttle setting, while the flight instructor reduced power to the idle position. The airplane continued through the overrun area and ultimately collided with a fence. No further details regarding injuries or aircraft damage were provided in the source.
