Analysis

On June 6, 1995, about 1510 central daylight time, a Cessna 152, N4625P, collided with parked airplanes during the go-around portion of a touch and go landing at Bessemer, Alabama. The airplane was operated by Phoenix Aviation of Alabama under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91 and visual flight rules. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. No flight plan was filed for the solo, instructional flight. There were no injuries to the student pilot, and the airplane was substantially damaged. Origination of the flight was Bessemer, about 1500, on the same day.

The pilot reported that he touched down on the left tire, then bounced alternately between tires a few times. He then initiated the go-around by retracting the landing flaps, adding full power, and closing the carburetor heat. The airplane veered left, crossed a grass area, and collided with the parked airplanes. The student reported that he and his instructor had flown from Shelby County, where he normally flies, to Bessemer, because the wind was aligned with the runway and calmer, at Bessemer. This flight was his first solo, and the accident occurred on the third touch and go landing. The student had a total of twelve flight hours, all in the same make and model airplane.
