During the first landing attempt, she was too high on approach and performed a go-around. During the second attempt, the pilot stated that while attempting to land, after touchdown, the airplane turned to the right. She used left brake and rudder to attempt to regain directional control and applied engine power to abort the landing. Several eyewitnesses reported that the airplane appeared to bounce twice after landing, after which they heard the engine power up before the left wing dropped, impacted the turf runway, and “tumbled” before the airplane came to rest. The impact resulted in substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. Postaccident examination of the airplane’s flight controls revealed no evidence of any preimpact failures or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. Given this information, it is likely that during the aborted landing attempt, the airplane exceeded the critical angle of attack resulting in an aerodynamic stall. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N69NX](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N69NX), registered now, S/N CC19-0069, built 2022 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CUB CRAFTERS INC CC19-215 - Registry model: [Cub Crafters CC19-215](https://openairdocs.org/model/cub-crafters-cc19-215) (registry code 2470009) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Lycoming IO-390 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/lycoming-io-390-series) (registry code 41678, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: CC19-0069 - Year built: 2022 - Airframe hours: 516.4 - Engines: Lycoming IO-390 215 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Operator: Sonoma Valley LLC - Registered owner: Sonoma Valley LLC - Airworthiness certificate: Special, Experimental (Special) - Last inspection: Annual, April 1, 2026 - Departed: 0B5, Montague, MA - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: 1P1, Plymouth Muni, runway 12/30, 2,347 × 90 ft, grass/turf - Equipment: Electronic multifunction display, ADS-B ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
