## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

A PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATED THE END OF AUGUST 2010 WITH 58 HOURS OF EXPERIENCE, PURCHASED A BELLANCA 260 (BL 1419-3) AND OBTAINED A HIGH PERFORMANCE / COMPLEX AIRCRAFT ENDORSEMENT AFTER 2 FLIGHTS IN SEPTEMBER 2010. WITH 28 HOURS OF  BELLANCA EXPERIENCE ACQUIRED IN 3 MONTHS, THE NEW PRIVATE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE BL-1419-3 WHILE PRACTICING TAKE-OFFS AND LANDINGS AT CLOVIS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (CVN). ON THE 4TH LANDING THE PILOT CARRIED TOO MUCH AIRSPEED WHILE CORRECTING FOR A RIGHT CROSSWIND. THE PILOT TOUCHED DOWN AT ABOUT 2300 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY AND WHEN HE RELEASED THE BACKPRESSURE ON THE YOLK, THE NOSE-WHEEL TOUCHED, AND THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE LEFT, DEPARTING THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT APPLIED POWER, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH A GO-AROUND. THE AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR WAS DAMAGED WHEN IT CROSSED A DRAINAGE DITCH, THE LEFT WING WAS DAMAGED WHEN IT SHEARED OFF A RUNWAY MARKING SIGN AND THE PROPELLER AND ENGINE WERE DAMAGED AS THE AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED AND SLID TO A STOP ON ITS BELLY ALONG THE EDGE OF A TAXIWAY.
