Accident Details
A flight instructor and his private pilot student were practicing touch-and-go landings. During one such landing, the student failed to turn off the carburetor heat and did not retract the flaps after the touch-and-go. The instructor then assumed control of the aircraft.
Sequence of Events
After taking control, the instructor turned off the carburetor heat. He later stated that he became "hasty" and retracted the flaps completely in a single motion, rather than in gradual increments. This action resulted in a loss of lift. The aircraft subsequently touched down on soft ground and nosed over.
Environmental Conditions
The temperature at the time of the accident was 92 degrees Fahrenheit, with a calculated density altitude of 7,713 feet above mean sea level.
