Incident Overview
A flight instructor (CFI) reported that during a landing approach, the student pilot flared the airplane too high. The CFI instructed the student to execute a go-around. The student responded by applying engine power but did not lower the airplane's nose. The CFI stated that he assumed control of the airplane "too late," and the airplane subsequently stalled and impacted an unoccupied airplane parked near the runway. The collision resulted in substantial damage to both aircraft.
Instructor's Account
The CFI reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane or engine that would have precluded normal operation. The CFI's statement indicates that the stall and collision occurred due to the sequence of events during the go-around, specifically the student's failure to lower the nose and the instructor's delayed intervention.
Aircraft and Conditions
The incident involved a training flight with a student pilot and a CFI. The specific aircraft model and registration were not provided in the report. The parked airplane was unoccupied at the time of impact. No injuries were reported. Weather and time of day were not specified.
Conclusion
The accident highlights the criticality of timely intervention during go-arounds. The CFI acknowledged the delay in assuming control, which allowed the stall to develop. The investigation focused on the operational sequence rather than mechanical factors.
