Probable cause
The student pilot’s failure to maintain/attain aircraft control during a go-around from a bounced landing that resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with terrain.
Findings · 2
NTSB’s coded findings. Those marked are part of the probable cause; the rest are factors or other findings. Under each, the cases with the same finding.
Sequence of events
The events NTSB coded, in order, by phase of flight. The defining event is the one that best describes the accident. Under each, the cases with the same event anywhere in their sequence.
Analysis
The student pilot reported that he was performing takeoffs and landings when the airplane bounced twice during landing. The student pilot applied full engine power after the second landing bounce, but the airplane descended and impacted the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and wings. The pilot’s flight instructor, who was monitoring the flight from the ground, reported that he heard an application of full engine power and saw the airplane enter a higher pitch attitude after the airplane bounced a second time, and stalled about 10 ft. above the runway. There were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane that would have precluded normal airplane operation.
