Yep, I was referring to first pass though:
During the first landing attempt, the airplane was seen at a very low altitude when it banked sharp left and sharp right before initiating a go-around maneuver.
Who knows what he was thinking after that, probably rattled, and clearly was not ready to solo. I think if I saw a student nearly stall on the first lap I would not let them take off again; I would definitely ground myself if I had directional control or near stall on short final.
No idea what the instructor/student dynamic was though; people that know the doc say he was a very well-liked guy, but clearly some people, and doctors often, are overconfident in their abilities. Obviously something went wrong.
