The defining event best describes what happened. - [Approach-VFR go-around: Collision with terr/obj (non-CFIT) ](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/470) (defining event); cases with it: [Socata TBM 700, 19 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/470/sequence.md?model=8682000), [All aircraft, 10,189 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/470/sequence.md) ## Analysis The pilot stated that he performed a visual approach and landing at the destination airport with wing flaps fully extended. As the airplane crossed the runway threshold and with the airplane in ground effect, he reduced engine power to idle. When the airplane was about to touch down, it ballooned upward about 20 to 30 ft, and the pilot then initiated a go-around using full engine power with the landing gear extended and without reducing the flap setting. During the go-around, the stall warning sounded as the airplane drifted left and away from the runway. The airplane impacted the ground and was destroyed by post-crash fire. The pilot stated there was no mechanical malfunction/failure of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N313BP](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N313BP), registered now, S/N 434, built 2008 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: SOCATA TBM 700 - Registry model: [Socata TBM 700](https://openairdocs.org/model/socata-tbm-700) (registry code 8682000) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Pratt & Whitney PT6A66D](https://openairdocs.org/engine/pratt-whitney-pt6a66d) (registry code 52281, turbo-prop) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 434 - Year built: 2008 - Airframe hours: 1529 - Engines: Pratt & Whitney PT6A-66D 850 horsepower turbo prop - Damage: Destroyed - Fire: On-Ground - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Registered owner: Dm Aviation LLC - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, November 1, 2025 - Departed: TME, Houston, TX - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: DKR, Houston County Airport, runway 2, 4,000 × 75 ft, asphalt - Equipment: Electronic multifunction display, Electronic primary flight display, ADS-B, Auto-pilot, Data recorder ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
