Probable cause
The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing and the subsequent loss of control due to a stall/mush condition. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's lack of total experience.
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
The airplane bounced on landing and the pilot added power to abort the landing. After becoming airborne the airplane stalled and mushed into a hangar and trees and came to rest inverted.
