Incident Overview
An airplane was destroyed by a post-impact fire after it collided with terrain following a loss of control while on final approach to land. The pilot provided a detailed account of the sequence of events.
Pilot's Account
According to the pilot, the aircraft was approximately 500 feet from the runway when the right wing stalled at 130 miles per hour. This caused the aircraft to roll to the right by 130 degrees. The pilot stated that he applied full power and rolled the aircraft upright, but it felt like the aircraft was being pushed straight down.
Impact and Post-Impact
The pilot reported that the aircraft hit the ground almost flat, bounced, and then slid across a highway before coming to a rest. The pilot and his two passengers exited the airplane prior to it catching fire. The subsequent post-impact fire destroyed the aircraft.
