Incident Overview
A pilot with 946 hours of flight experience reported that during a 3-point landing, the right wing and tail of the aircraft lifted unexpectedly. This caused the plane to steer toward a small ditch and in the direction of airport hangars. The pilot decided to execute a go-around and applied full power. The airplane became airborne but failed to gain sufficient altitude to clear the hangars. The aircraft impacted two hangars that were approximately 10–15 feet apart, with the fuselage coming to rest between them. The airplane sustained substantial damage.
Pilot Statement
According to a written statement from the pilot, the sequence of events began during the landing phase. As the aircraft touched down in a 3-point attitude, the right wing and tail rose, altering the direction of the airplane toward a nearby ditch and the hangar area. The pilot promptly initiated a go-around by adding full power. Although the aircraft lifted off, it did not reach an altitude high enough to avoid the hangars. The subsequent collision resulted in the fuselage being lodged between the two structures.
Damage Assessment
The airplane was substantially damaged in the accident. The impact with the hangars caused significant structural damage, though no further details regarding the extent of damage were provided in the source. The fuselage came to rest in the gap between the two hangars, which were spaced 10–15 feet apart.
