Flight Details
The student pilot was conducting a short cross-country flight. During the approach to land, feeling that the airplane was too high, he elected to perform a go-around. He subsequently made two more approaches and performed go-arounds each time for the same reason—he felt he was too high.
Incident Sequence
On the final approach, the student was lower and landed the airplane about one-third of the distance down the runway from the approach end. During the landing rollout, he turned the carburetor heat off but forgot to raise the flaps. After applying full power to take off, the airplane veered sharply to the left, exited the runway, and subsequently impacted trees, incurring damage.
Aircraft Systems
Prior to the accident, there had been no mechanical failure or malfunction to the airplane or any of its systems.
