Night Landing Accident: Pilot Stalls During Go-Around After Touchdown (N4670B)

Incident Overview During a night approach to runway 1R, a 264-hour instrument-rated private pilot observed that the aircraft was high for the landing. This was the pilot's eighth night landing of the evening. The runway was described as a 4,208-foot by 100-foot asphalt surface. To correct the altitude, the pilot initiated a forward slip. The aircraft momentarily touched down on the runway before becoming airborne again. The pilot attempted to hold the aircraft in a flare, but it began to oscillate. Subsequently, the pilot attempted a go-around. Approximately five feet above the ground, the aircraft stalled and impacted the runway. The nose landing gear collapsed, and the aircraft departed the edge of the runway into soft terrain. It nosed over and came to rest in an inverted position. An examination of the aircraft revealed structural damage to the fuselage, vertical stabilizer, and wings. The pilot reported that there was no mechanical malfunction or failure with the aircraft.
