Probable cause

Findings · 2
NTSB’s coded findings. Those marked are part of the probable cause; the rest are factors or other findings. Under each, the cases with the same finding.
Sequence of events
The events NTSB coded, in order, by phase of flight. The defining event is the one that best describes the accident. Under each, the cases with the same event anywhere in their sequence.
Analysis
The pilot and pilot rated passenger reported that while landing the tail wheeled-equipped airplane, the airplane was low on the approach and a 3-point landing was not attained. The airplane touched down firmly, and then veered slightly back and forth from side to side. Subsequently, as the airplane veered significantly to the right, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control and attempted a go-around. However, shortly thereafter, the left wing dropped and struck the runway, and the go-around was aborted. The airplane then veered off the runway and nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Factual narrative
The pilot and pilot rated passenger reported that while landing the tail wheeled-equipped airplane, the pilot was a little “drug in” and a 3-point landing was not attained. The airplane touched down firmly, and then veered slightly back and forth from side to side. Subsequently, as the airplane veered significantly to the right, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control and attempted a go-around. However, shortly thereafter, the left wing dropped and struck the runway, and the go-around was aborted. The airplane then veered off the runway and nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunction or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
