NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On September 24, 2007, at 1024 mountain daylight time, a Cessna T210M single-engine airplane, N732XE, was destroyed when it impacted terrain following a loss of control during landing at Moriarty Airport (0E0), Moriarty, New Mexico. The flight instructor (instructor pilot) sustained serious injuries and the commercial pilot receiving instruction (pilot trainee) sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was registered to and operated by the United States (U.S.) Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Washington, DC. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a company flight plan was filed for the Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight. The flight departed the Albuquerque International Sunport Airport (ABQ), Albuquerque, New Mexico, at 0934. Prior to departure, at 0929, the instructor pilot and pilot trainee contacted ABQ approach and requested a heading of 060 degrees and an altitude of 9,500 feet mean sea level (msl). At 0933, the airplane was cleared for takeoff from ABQ, and at 0939, radar services were terminated. During the flight, the CBP Air and Marine Operations Center tracked the airplane via satellite tracking. Tracking data showed, at 1004, the airplane approached 0E0 from the north and entered a left downwind for runway 26. The data showed the airplane conducted four landings to runway 26, and at 1024, the satellite signal was lost on the fifth landing. A pilot-rated witness, who was located in his airplane at 0E0 taxiway/intersection D, observed the airplane performing several touch and go maneuvers on runway 26 (The
Probable cause

Contributing to the accident were the instructor pilot's inadequate supervision during the landing, improper recovery from a bounced landing, and the improper airplane configuration for the attempted go-around.
