| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The private pilot was conducting a personal flight and attempting to land the airplane. A witness reported seeing the airplane bounce during the landing. During the second touchdown, the airplane’s nose was aligned left of the runway centerline. The pilot then lost directional control of the airplane, which subsequently exited the left side of the runway, flipped, and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical fin, rudder, empennage, fuselage, and wing. The right door was jammed from the impact damage, and the pilot and passenger exited the inverted airplane through the left door. An examination of the airplane and engine revealed no preaccident mechanical deficiencies that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper recovery from a bounced landing.
