THE CREW WERE ATTEMPTING THEIR THIRD TOUCH-AND-GO LANDING WHEN THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED AFTER MAKING CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET SOUTH OF THE THRESHOLD.

THE AIRCRAFT LEFT THE RUNWAY TO THE EAST SIDE, COLLIDED WITH THE DIRT APRON, AND CAME TO REST APPROXIMATELY 1400 FEET SOUTH OF THE THRESHOLD. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING, BENDING THE CENTER AND AFT SPAR WHERE THE LEFT MAIN GEAR IS MOUNTED. THE LEFT WING LEADING EDGE WAS SEPARATED FROM THE FUSELAGE.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
