Accident Summary
A pilot reported that during an attempted landing at a private grass airfield, the aircraft began to porpoise after touchdown. The pilot subsequently executed a go-around. The aircraft then crashed into terrain approximately one-quarter mile from the departure end of the runway.
Witness Account
A witness observed the aircraft during the attempted landing and go-around. According to the witness, the approach was so high and steep that they initially believed the aircraft was going to make a low pass and circle to land. The witness stated that the aircraft touched down on the last third of the grass runway, and the tires skidded on the grass momentarily. The engine then sounded as if it went to full power, and the aircraft became airborne. The nose rose slightly, the aircraft banked to the left, and it impacted the terrain in a nose-down attitude.
Investigation
The investigation is ongoing. No probable cause has been stated.
