Accident Overview
A pilot reported an accident that occurred while landing an airplane. According to the pilot's statement, the sequence of events began when he initiated the flare maneuver. During the flare, the stall warning system activated. The airplane then descended from an estimated height of 6 to 12 inches above the runway surface and bounced upon contacting the ground. When the airplane came back down after the bounce, the pilot lost directional control, and the airplane began to veer to the left. Despite the pilot's attempt to correct the deviation by applying right rudder, the airplane continued moving left and subsequently departed the runway.
Damage Assessment
The right main landing gear separated from the airplane during the accident. Additional damage was sustained to the right wing, right elevator, fuselage, propeller, and cowl. The pilot noted that no mechanical problems with the airplane existed prior to the accident.
