What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot reported he was doing touch and goes for proficiency, advised he had completed 2 of them. On third approach to runway 12R, pilots stated while doing last minute checks on overhead panel, suddenly aircraft appeared to be dropping (pan caking), recalls powering up and getting power to engine very quickly. Aircraft appears to have stalled due to lack of sufficient airspeed, pilot reports he cannot remember hearing the stall warning horn. Aircraft landed on airport grounds, short of the runway about (300 yds). Initial impact was on right gear and a few feet later the left gear impacted the ground also leaving a left wing impact impression on the ground, aircraft then appears to have bounced approximately 30 yds and coming to a stop (45 degree heading). The right wing spar was broken and wing was found mostly detached from the fuselage and under the aft portion of the aircraft. The left side wing spar area was also broken but wing remained attached to the fuselage. Pilot sustained minor injuries to his head, passenger sustained minor injury to chest and back (whiplash).
