Another witness stated that at approximately 50 feet AGL, the airplane appeared to "pull out"; however, the airplane subsequently impacted the ground in a 45-degree nose-down attitude.
Impact and Damage
After the initial impact, the airplane bounced and came to rest approximately 130 feet from the point of first impact. The airplane sustained substantial damage.
Post-Accident Examination
A post-accident examination of the airplane's systems revealed no anomalies.
