Incident Overview
A single-engine aircraft experienced a runway contact incident during a landing attempt. The pilot stated that the winds were from 210 degrees at 12 knots. A witness observed the aircraft approaching runway 03 low and fast. According to the witness, the main landing gear had just touched down on the runway when a gust of wind from the right lifted the right wing. The pilot then pulled the nose up in what appeared to be a go-around maneuver. However, the wing stalled and subsequently contacted the runway.
Pilot Account
The pilot reported encountering a severe downdraft while on final approach. In response, the pilot added full power. Shortly after, the pilot encountered another downdraft before the aircraft collided with the runway.
Sequence of Events
The incident occurred during an attempted landing on runway 03. The aircraft was observed to be low and fast on final approach. After initial touchdown, a gust of wind from the right caused the right wing to rise. The pilot initiated a go-around by pulling the nose up, but the wing stalled and struck the runway. The pilot’s report of downdrafts on final approach and during the go-around attempt suggests challenging wind conditions.
