Read the full NTSB narrative

The flight instructor and student pilot were performing touch-and-go takeoffs and landings on runway 14. The instructor stated that the second touch-and-go “went bad,” but he could not remember the events of the accident. The student pilot did not provide a statement. The recorded weather conditions at a nearby airport about the time of the accident included wind from 160° at 17 knots with gusts to 23 knots, resulting in a 7-knot right crosswind component for the landing runway. The airplane came to rest inverted about 1,800 ft down the 3,000-ft-long runway. The wing flaps were in the fully extended position, and examination of the flight controls revealed no anomalies. The runway displayed impact markings consistent with contact from the left wing about 1,700 ft down the runway and to the right of the runway centerline. The circumstances of the accident are consistent with a loss of directional control during a touch-and-go landing in gusting crosswind conditions.
