Event Overview
A certified flight instructor and a dual student were conducting touch-and-go landing practice at an airport. During an attempted landing, the dual student released the flight controls during the landing roll. The certified flight instructor did not regain control of the airplane before it veered off the right side of the runway.
Sequence of Events
After departing the runway surface, the airplane rolled down a ravine into a wooded area, where it collided with trees. The accident occurred during daytime conditions, and no additional details about the aircraft, occupants, or injuries were provided in the source material.
Investigation Findings
The investigation determined that the student pilot's release of the controls during the landing roll, combined with the instructor's inability to regain control, led to the loss of directional control. The airplane subsequently departed the runway and entered terrain not suitable for landing.
