Accident Details
A flight instructor (CFI) reported an accident that occurred during a touch-and-go landing. After touchdown, the student pilot looked down to locate and raise the flap handle. As the student operated the flaps, the aircraft began to deviate to the right.
The CFI attempted to correct the deviation by applying left rudder and aileron inputs, and later by adjusting engine power. Despite these efforts, the aircraft entered a ground loop to the right. During the ground loop, the left wing dipped and struck the ground.
The CFI stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the aircraft prior to the accident.
