| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that the approach for the full flap landing was normal. The pilot stated that the flare was a little high, about ten feet above the runway, and the stall horn sounded about five feet above the runway. The pilot stated that as the main landing gear touched down 'firmly' with the airplane in a nose high attitude, he added full power. The airplane veered to the left side of the runway, and the flight instructor took over the controls to continue the go-around, not realizing that when the wing dipped down during the veering maneuver, it contacted the runway surface. During the downwind leg, the pilot noticed that the wing tip fairing was vibrating. The flight instructor continued in the pattern and landed without further incident.
Probable Cause: Aircraft control was not maintained. The pilot's misjudged flare and inadequate remedial action, along with the flight instructors delayed remedial action were factors.
