Probable cause
The failure of the pilot to execute timely go around procedures. The pilot's lack of experience in this make and model of airplane were factors in the accident.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The airplane touched down on a hump in the runway, and became airborne again. The pilot lowered the nose, added some power, and the airplane bounced up sharply and then stalled. The nose gear collapsed, and a small fire started, which was extingushed by the pilot.
