Accident Sequence
During a planned touch and go landing, the student pilot flared too high. The airplane landed hard, bounced, and the propeller struck the runway. The student pilot then executed a go-around. During the climbout, at approximately 250 feet above ground level, the engine lost power. The student pilot performed a straight ahead forced landing. During the forced landing, the airplane's right wing and horizontal stabilizer were separated. The airplane subsequently nosed over and came to rest inverted in a tree line.
Emergency Response
The student pilot was trapped in the inverted airplane. Emergency response crews extracted the pilot 30 minutes later. The pilot sustained minor injuries.
Post-Accident Examination
A serviceable propeller was later installed on the airplane's engine. The engine was test run for over 20 minutes, including several minutes at full power. The test run indicated the engine operated normally.
