| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, during landing, the airplane bounced hard. He applied full power and aborted the landing. He recalled that he “must have allowed the front end to come up too high,” which led to the airplane stalling and veering left. The left wing and then the right wing struck the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack during the aborted landing, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
