Accident Overview
During a routine traffic pattern for a touch-and-go landing, the pilot elected to perform a short field landing. After touchdown, the pilot moved the flap selector to the 'UP' position, added power, and set the carburetor heat to the 'COLD' position. The airplane became airborne and began to porpoise, a series of oscillations in pitch.
Sequence of Events
The porpoising motion caused the airplane to depart the left side of the runway. It then traveled through grass, crossed a taxiway, and continued until it came to rest in wet grassy terrain approximately 1,000 feet from the runway.
Aircraft Damage
Subsequent inspection revealed damage to the airplane firewall, left wing spar, and rear inner spar. No other details regarding the extent of damage or other components were provided.
Conclusion
The accident sequence involved a short field landing attempt during a touch-and-go, followed by immediate flap retraction and power application, leading to porpoising and a runway excursion. No causal analysis or contributing factors are available from the source.
