Narrative:
The aircraft experienced a loss of directional control and a subsequent runway excursion during a landing attempt at Langkawi International Airport (LGK/WMKL), Malaysia.
The trainee pilot received minor injuries.

The first primary cause was attributed to the over control of the flare attitude during landing and the incorrect execution of the go-around technique by the CP when the aircraft bounced on landing. The decision to salvage the bounced landing resulted in the late decision to commence a go-around. Contributing factors to this late decision were the lack of self-confidence and visual illusion caused by the bright runway lights during landing.
It further led to disorientation during the attempt to go around. Visual illusion and disorientation had in combination affected the motor skill function of the CP resulting in inappropriate or inadequate control response which caused a crash landing.

3.7.4 The second primary cause was attributed to the lack of proper supervision to ensure the under-performing CP had achieved the required skill and proficiency standards to fly the 1st solo night flight. Contributing factors to the lack of proper supervision is the reluctance by the FI to submit Slow Progress Report to request for an assessment flight or approval additional flights, the practice to reshuffle flights to consolidate under-performance flights to progress the CP especially during the 1st solo circuits phase, 1st solo training area phase and 1st solo night phase, and the practice of flying 1st solo flights
with FI as safety pilot when the CP was not confident to fly solo. These non- standard practices had deprived the CP of additional training to improve self-confidence, skill standards and to achieve the proficiency standards required to fly the 1st solo night flight.
