What happened
The accident occurred during a training flight involving a student pilot attempting a standard full-stop landing. The pilot configured the aircraft with full flaps for the approach and touchdown. Upon initial contact with the runway surface, the airplane bounced back into the air before settling down again.
Instead of executing a go-around or adjusting the configuration appropriately, the student pilot applied full throttle while the flaps remained in the extended position. This abrupt power application caused the nose of the aircraft to pitch upward sharply, reaching an angle of approximately 45 degrees. The high angle of attack resulted in an aerodynamic stall. As the airplane lost lift, the right wing dropped significantly, leading to a loss of control and subsequent collision with the adjacent taxiway.
The investigation
Post-acc examination of the aircraft revealed damage consistent with a hard landing and subsequent impact with ground infrastructure. The flight data indicated that the flaps were not retracted after the initial bounce, which contributed to the excessive nose-up pitching moment when full power was applied.
