Analysis

The plt reported that he began a touch-and-go landing after a light twin acft took off. He stated that he did not have a clear recall of the complete procedure that he followed. However, after the acft reached an altitude of about 30 to 40 ft AGL, the stall warning sounded & was followed by a partial stall. He pushed the control wheel forward, but reported this had little noticeable effect on the acft's attitude. Subsequently, the acft settled to the rwy in a slightly nose high attitude. During the impact, the main gear was bent, the nose gear was driven upward behind the fire wall & the propeller struck the ground. The plt stated that his son, in the right front seat, recalled that the carburetor heat was pushed in & the flaps were raised before power was applied to takeoff again.
