Accident Details
The pilot was conducting a traffic pattern for runway 33 with the intention of performing a full-stop landing. During the landing flare, the airplane touched down on the runway surface and subsequently lifted off again. According to the pilot, the airplane did not bounce but rather made contact "very lightly" before becoming airborne once more.
In response to the unanticipated lift-off, the pilot added power in an effort to recover. However, the engine did not produce the response the pilot expected. The pilot then applied full power and prepared to execute a go-around. Again, the engine failed to respond as anticipated. The nose of the airplane pitched upward, and the aircraft began to drift to the left. The airplane bounced on the runway several times before coming to a full stop.
Aircraft Damage
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and firewall of the airplane. The extent of the damage required significant repair or replacement of these structural components. No other damage items were specified in the report.
Post-Accident Examination
Following the accident, an examination of the engine and all related systems was conducted. The examination revealed no anomalies or malfunctions. The engine appeared to be functioning normally at the time of inspection, and no mechanical issues were identified that could explain the lack of response experienced by the pilot during the landing sequence and go-around attempt.
