According to a witness, the pilot was on his second attempt to land following a go-around. On the accident landing, the airplane was about 60 feet above the runway, and appeared to the witness to be slow and "mushy." The airplane subsequently stalled, hit the runway hard, bounced twice, and nosed over. Examination of the airplane by an aviation mechanic and an FAA inspector, disclosed no preaccident mechanical anomalies.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain sufficient airspeed to avoid a stall during the landing flare, resulting in an uncontrolled descent and in-flight collision with the runway.
