| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The airplane made a hard landing during a visual approach. The pilot reported he applied engine power to soften the landing and the left engine "spooled up faster" than the right engine, which veered the airplane to the right. The pilot then reduced engine power again in order "to maintain control of the airplane." He stated that the airplane was still not aligned with the runway when it impacted the ground.
Probable Cause: The go-around not performed and the improper flare by the pilot during landing.
