CESSNA 152
DURING A FOURTH TOUCH-AND-GO LANDING, THE STUDENT PILOT APPLIED POWER TO GO AROUND BUT DID NOT APPLY RIGHT RUDDER PEDAL TO COUNTERACT THE LEFT TURNING TENDENCY OF THE AIRPLANE. THE AIRPLANE VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AFTER WHICH THE NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. THE AIRPLANE THEN NOSED OVER AND CAME TO REST.
On August 9, 1993, about 0930 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 152, N757UY, registered to and operated by Kimura International, Inc., experienced a loss of control during the landing roll and nosed over at the Opa-Locka West Airport, Opa- Locka, Florida, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged and the student pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. The flight originated about 10 minutes earlier. The student pilot stated that after touchdown during the fourth touch-and-go landing, he applied power to go around but did not add sufficient right rudder. The airplane veered off the left side of the runway after which the nose landing gear collapsed and the airplane nosed over.
FAILURE OF THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND TO APPLY RIGHT RUDDER WHILE APPLYING POWER DURING THE TOUCH-AND-GO LANDING. CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND'S LACK OF TOTAL EXPERIENCE.
