Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing which resulted in an inadvertent stall and a hard landing. The crosswind was a factor.

Factual narrative

The pilot stated that he was landing the airplane on runway 25R. After touchdown, the airplane ballooned and then stalled. He attempted to add power and go-around but it was too late and the airplane landed hard and skidded to the right. The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions and that the winds at the time of the accident were from 170 degrees at 7 knots. The Federal Aviation Administration accident coordinator reported that the firewall was damaged. The pilot stated that he was landing the airplane on runway 25R.
