Incident Overview
A student pilot was performing a landing approach when the descent angle was too high, prompting a go-around. The pilot subsequently attempted another approach with a lower descent angle but at a somewhat faster airspeed while maintaining idle engine power.
Hard Landing and Bounce Sequence
During the subsequent landing attempt, the airplane contacted the runway in a flat attitude, resulting in a hard landing. The aircraft then bounced twice before the pilot applied full engine power and retracted the flaps from 100 percent to 50 percent.
Runway Excursion and Impact
Following the flap retraction, the airplane veered off the left side of the runway. It then impacted terrain and a fence, coming to a stop. The accident sequence resulted in substantial damage to the empennage and one wing.
Damage Assessment
The aircraft sustained substantial damage, specifically to the empennage (tail section) and one wing. No other damage details were provided.
