Analysis
On June 22, 1994, about 0945 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 152, N936JH, registered to Husta Aviation, experienced a loss of control shortly after touchdown at the Opa-Locka 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 had performed two touch-and-go landings, one go-around and one full stop landing with his certified flight instructor (CFI) aboard. After the full stop landing the CFI got out of the airplane for the student's first supervised solo flight. The flight departed and the CFI stated that the final approach, and flare for the first touch-and-go landing appeared normal. The airplane was landed on the main landing gear first and after the nose landing gear touched down, the student applied power to go around. The airplane yawed to the left and the propeller contacted the ground. The airplane then departed the left side of the runway and came to rest upright on a taxiway.
