| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot receiving instruction reported that while on final approach, the airspeed became slow so he lowered the airplane nose to increase the airspeed. The airplane landed firmly at the runway threshold and bounced. During the recovery from the bounce, the flight instructor commanded a go-around maneuver. During the go-around, the airplane’s nose rose high, and the airplane yawed and rolled to the left. The airplane impacted the ground alongside the runway and nosed over. Post accident examination revealed that the vertical stabilizer, rudder, empennage, and left wing sustained substantial damage.
There were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot receiving instruction’s failure to maintain control during a go-around. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s inadequate supervision of the flight.
