| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
While maneuvering to land, the airplane was high on final approach. The pilot slipped the airplane to increase the descent rate. About 50 feet above the runway, the pilot transitioned from the slip to the landing attitude. The airplane bounced, and the pilot made a small power increase and lowered the nose. The airplane bounced a second time and began a porpoise-type oscillation. The pilot initiated a go-around. During the go-around, the pilot lost control of the airplane as its nose pitched up and the airplane rolled left. The airplane impacted a field next to the runway and substantial damage was sustained to the fuselage and both wings. A postaccident examination of the airplane by the NTSB and the FAA revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in a loss of control.
