Narrative:

I was returning with a student in a decathlon. The student had no time in tailwheel aircraft; but was flying the airplane well. We planned to do a touch and go followed by a full stop and were told to enter a right downwind for runway 29. This airport is very busy and while on final for runway 29 we were told to go around due to a jet on final behind us. At this point I told my student that we would just do a full stop landing. We were told to enter left downwind for runway 29 and prior to turning on base were asked to do a 360 degrees and reenter downwind. I only heard 'do a 360;' so when we completed the 360 degrees we were asked to do another 360 degrees and reenter downwind. Again; just before reaching base we were told to do another 360 degrees due to jet traffic. At this point I was anxious to get on the ground to meet my next student; so I inquired about landing on runway 5. After consideration; the controller cleared us to land and hold short of runway 29. I wasn't prepared to have to hold short of runway 29; but knew there was about 3500 ft of runway before the intersection with runway 29 and had landed and exited prior to runway 29 many times before; so felt comfortable in accepting this clearance. While approaching the runway the student was consistently low and I was working on getting him higher for the approach. Because there are no flight instruments in the back of the decathlon and because I felt comfortable that the student was maintaining the airspeed I had asked him to maintain I was not terribly concerned about our speed. Crossing the threshold of runway 5 we floated for longer than I wanted and when we finally did touchdown we bounced. It was at this point that I feared we could not get stopped prior to the intersection and I elected to perform a go around. We did this and ended up over-flying the G4 that was on runway 29 rolling out from its landing. I estimate we over-flew the G4 by 500 ft. A combination of the desire to get on the ground for my next student and a false sense of security in my student's abilities resulted in me making several poor decisions that resulted in a near miss that could have been catastrophic.

Title: DECATHLON INSTRUCTOR PILOT WITH STUDENT AT CONTROLS AND CLEARED TO LAHSO ELECTS TO GO AROUND; OVER FLYING A G IV ON THE INTERSECTING RWY.

Narrative: I WAS RETURNING WITH A STUDENT IN A DECATHLON. THE STUDENT HAD NO TIME IN TAILWHEEL ACFT; BUT WAS FLYING THE AIRPLANE WELL. WE PLANNED TO DO A TOUCH AND GO FOLLOWED BY A FULL STOP AND WERE TOLD TO ENTER A R DOWNWIND FOR RWY 29. THIS ARPT IS VERY BUSY AND WHILE ON FINAL FOR RWY 29 WE WERE TOLD TO GO AROUND DUE TO A JET ON FINAL BEHIND US. AT THIS POINT I TOLD MY STUDENT THAT WE WOULD JUST DO A FULL STOP LNDG. WE WERE TOLD TO ENTER L DOWNWIND FOR RWY 29 AND PRIOR TO TURNING ON BASE WERE ASKED TO DO A 360 DEGS AND REENTER DOWNWIND. I ONLY HEARD 'DO A 360;' SO WHEN WE COMPLETED THE 360 DEGS WE WERE ASKED TO DO ANOTHER 360 DEGS AND REENTER DOWNWIND. AGAIN; JUST BEFORE REACHING BASE WE WERE TOLD TO DO ANOTHER 360 DEGS DUE TO JET TFC. AT THIS POINT I WAS ANXIOUS TO GET ON THE GND TO MEET MY NEXT STUDENT; SO I INQUIRED ABOUT LNDG ON RWY 5. AFTER CONSIDERATION; THE CTLR CLRED US TO LAND AND HOLD SHORT OF RWY 29. I WASN'T PREPARED TO HAVE TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 29; BUT KNEW THERE WAS ABOUT 3500 FT OF RWY BEFORE THE INTXN WITH RWY 29 AND HAD LANDED AND EXITED PRIOR TO RWY 29 MANY TIMES BEFORE; SO FELT COMFORTABLE IN ACCEPTING THIS CLRNC. WHILE APCHING THE RWY THE STUDENT WAS CONSISTENTLY LOW AND I WAS WORKING ON GETTING HIM HIGHER FOR THE APCH. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO FLT INSTS IN THE BACK OF THE DECATHLON AND BECAUSE I FELT COMFORTABLE THAT THE STUDENT WAS MAINTAINING THE AIRSPD I HAD ASKED HIM TO MAINTAIN I WAS NOT TERRIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SPD. XING THE THRESHOLD OF RWY 5 WE FLOATED FOR LONGER THAN I WANTED AND WHEN WE FINALLY DID TOUCHDOWN WE BOUNCED. IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT I FEARED WE COULD NOT GET STOPPED PRIOR TO THE INTXN AND I ELECTED TO PERFORM A GAR. WE DID THIS AND ENDED UP OVER-FLYING THE G4 THAT WAS ON RWY 29 ROLLING OUT FROM ITS LNDG. I ESTIMATE WE OVER-FLEW THE G4 BY 500 FT. A COMBINATION OF THE DESIRE TO GET ON THE GND FOR MY NEXT STUDENT AND A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY IN MY STUDENT'S ABILITIES RESULTED IN ME MAKING SEVERAL POOR DECISIONS THAT RESULTED IN A NEAR MISS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.
