The pilot reported that, during final, “all seemed normal until [he] felt the plane drop.” He added that he heard the stall warning horn chirp and added full power “[too] late.” The left wing sheared off after impacting a street sign, and the airplane came to rest on the left side of the runway.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
