## Probable cause

THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO PROPERLY RECOVER FROM A BOUNCED LANDING, AND HIS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING THE ABORTED LANDING.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- In flight collision with terrain/water, landing - aborted
  - terrain condition - high vegetation
  - recovery from bounced landing - improper, pilot in command (cause)
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)

## Analysis

THE PILOT STATED THAT DURING THE LANDING, THE PLANE BOUNCED TWICE. HE DECIDED TO GO AROUND AND ADDED FULL POWER WHILE HE 'WORKED FLAPS OFF'. THE AIRPLANE STRUCK BUSHES AND A LOG ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.
