Narrative:
Upon landing, the plane hit a tree and crashed. The pilot was seriously injured and was taken to a hospital.

Scenario
On his last landing, after bouncing, the student pilot estimated that he would not be able to stop the aeroplane before the end of the runway and decided to abort the landing. He took off again with the flaps in the landing configuration and with the carburettor heat on, thereby degrading climb performance. The climb gradient was insufficient to enable the aeroplane to clear the obstacles in the vicinity of the aerodrome. The uncontrolled engine effects caused the aeroplane to enter a steep left turn.
Contributing factors
The following factors may have contributed to the collision with a tree during the aborted landing:
- The fatigue mentioned by the pilot, at the end of this flight (dual-command flight, followed by three supervised solo runway circuits).
- Insufficient understanding of the balked landing recovery technique.
