Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During the landing flare the plt reported he flared late and the acft bounced and porpoised. The plt commented and the plt rated passenger in the right seat misinterpreted the comment as a request for assistance. With two people conflicting on the controls a loss of control occurred. The acft departed the rwy, struck a yucca plant with the wing tip. The acft spun around and the main landing gear failed. The acft slid to a stop partially on the rwy.
