Event Summary
A certified flight instructor (CFI) was conducting a touch-and-go landing on a runway. After the airplane touched down, the CFI advanced the throttle, and the airplane began to accelerate normally. At approximately 50 miles per hour, the CFI raised the tailwheel, and the airplane started to swerve to the right.
Sequence of Events
The CFI attempted to correct the swerve by applying left rudder and aileron. Despite these inputs, the airplane continued its path toward trees located east of the runway. At that point, the CFI reduced power, and the airplane struck a tree.
Aircraft and Flight Information
The CFI did not report any malfunctions with the airframe or engine during the flight. No other details about the aircraft, such as type or registration, were provided in the source.
