Incident Overview
A student pilot was returning to Lee Airport in Edgewater, Maryland, following a cross-country flight to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. During the final approach for Runway 12, the pilot applied full flaps. As the aircraft entered the landing flare, it ballooned upward. In response, the pilot applied full power to execute a go-around.
Sequence of Events
According to the pilot's post-accident account, he failed to reduce pitch in time to prevent a stall during the go-around. The aircraft dropped onto the runway, contacting the ground with the main landing gear first. Subsequently, the aircraft swerved to the left of the runway and entered a freshly plowed field, where it flipped over and came to rest inverted.
Aftermath
The aircraft sustained damage during the accident sequence. No further details regarding the aircraft type, registration, operator, or occupant status were provided in the source.
