Event Description
While turning from base leg to final approach with a 20-degree left bank and full flaps deployed, the stall warning horn activated. The pilot observed an indicated airspeed between 50 and 55 knots and an altitude of 50 to 100 feet above the ground. In response, the pilot applied full power and maintained a nose-down attitude in an attempt to increase airspeed. The airplane subsequently collided with snow-covered tundra approximately 300 feet short of the runway.
Pilot Actions
The pilot stated that upon hearing the stall warning, he immediately advanced the throttle to full power and kept the airplane's nose down to regain airspeed. Despite these efforts, the aircraft was unable to reach the runway before contacting the ground.
Context
The event occurred during a turn from base leg to final approach. The landing gear and flaps were configured for landing, with full flaps selected. The terrain at the accident site consisted of snow-covered tundra. No further details about the aircraft, pilot, or environmental conditions were provided in the source.
