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
Plt attempted to land with a left quartering tail wind. The aircraft landed hard and bounced several times. The plt initiated a go-around and during climbout from the go-around the pilot initiated a steep left turn with 30 to 40 degrees of bank and with a nose high attitude. The passenger stated the stall warning horn sounded upon initiation of the left turn and the aircraft immediately began to descend. The plt managed to level the wings to a slight left wing low bank just prior to the aircraft touching down gear up on a perpendicular runway.
