| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During landing, the airplane touched down hard damaging the propeller and the firewall. According to the pilot, he was unable to flare the airplane due to a 'stuck' control yoke. Both the pilot and his passenger reported that following the flight, the owner of the airplane inspected the area behind the instrument panel and found that a bolt through the yoke was catching on tubing behind the panel. An FAA inspector examined the airplane approximately 1 month after the accident and found no discrepancies in the elevator control system.
Probable Cause: The restricted movement of the elevator control system by a bolt.
