Aircraft involved
Probable cause & findings
The pilot's failure to maintain pitch control resulting in an aerodynamic stall.
Factual narrative
Following a hard, bounced landing, the pilot applied full power with full flaps. She said the airplane pitched up excessively and stalled. She was unable to regain control, and the airplane collided with the ground in a steep, nose low attitude, sustaining substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot said there were no mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident. The pilot reported that the airplane touched down hard and bounced. She applied full power with full flaps and the airplane pitched up excessively and stalled. She was unable to regain control, and the airplane collided with the ground in a steep, nose low attitude, sustaining substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot said there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database Retrieved: 2026-02-12
