## 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.
