Accident Overview
A loss of control occurred during a landing attempt on runway 30. The pilot reported that prior to the landing, he had contacted Flight Service and heard transmissions from other aircraft indicating strong and gusty winds from the northwest. He also listened to the automated terminal information service (ATIS) before beginning the approach.
Pilot's Report
According to the pilot, the airplane was traveling at 60 miles per hour when the left wheel touched down. At that moment, the right wing began to rise. In response, the pilot applied full power and removed carburetor heat to initiate a go-around. Despite these actions, the right wing continued to rise, and the pilot was unable to lower it or the nose to gain more airspeed. Subsequently, the left wing contacted the runway, followed by the propeller, main landing gear, and right wing tip. The pilot stated his belief that the left wing was in a "stall mode."
Wind Conditions
Local wind recordings taken one minute prior to the event indicated winds from 330 degrees at 20 knots, gusting to 27 knots.
Aircraft Damage
The sequence of ground contact involved the left wing, propeller, main gear, and right wing tip. No further details on damage extent are available.
Probable Cause
The investigation source did not state a specific probable cause for the accident. The pilot's account of the left wing entering a stall mode may be relevant, but no official determination was provided.
