NTSB Factual Report

While the student pilot was performing a touch-and-go maneuver, the airplane touched down on the runway and bounced back into the air. During the attempted recovery, the airplane stalled, rolled left, and impacted the ground. According to the flight instructor, during the accident sequence he attempted to take control of the airplane, but the student continued to pull back on the airplane's control yoke. The student pilot reported that when requested to relinquish the flight controls, he did so. The airplane's left wing and fuselage sustained substantial damage during the accident. The flight instructor reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane prior to the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot's improper recovery from the bounced landing and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action.
