Event Sequence
The pilot reported that during final approach in gusting wind conditions at night, he reduced power and initiated a flare. At that moment, he heard the stall warning horn. He stated that a "gust of wind caught [the] left wing," which he attempted to counter with left aileron inputs. Upon touchdown, the nose landing gear bounced. The pilot then applied full power to go around, but a gust of wind "pushed [him] right into desert." The airplane bounced, impacted a fence, and came to rest inverted on the right side of the runway.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing, fuselage, and empennage.
Weather Conditions
A review of recorded data from the automated weather observation station located on the airport revealed that about 5 minutes before the accident the wind was 130° at 9 knots. The same weather observation station reported that about 15 minutes after the accident the wind was 140° at 10 knots, gusting to 17 knots. The airplane landed on runway 19.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
