| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot of the motor glider airplane stated that he bounced twice during the landing attempt, and he elected to apply power and abort the landing. During the aborted landing, he said he lost directional control, and the right wingtip struck the corner of a hangar. The airplane then struck the runway, collapsing the landing gear. There were no preaccident mechanical anomalies reported by the pilot, or discovered during the postaccident inspection.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in a loss of control, an in-flight collision with a hangar, and subsequent in-flight collision with the runway.
