An aircraft bounced on landing due to low approach speed, then stalled and crashed during a go-around. Both occupants were injured. Probable cause: improper level off and failure to maintain flying speed.

Incident Overview

An aircraft experienced a bounced landing after the approach speed was too low. The pilot initiated a go-around, but the aircraft entered a steep climb with a high angle of attack, stalled, and crashed onto the runway. The aircraft was destroyed, and both occupants sustained injuries.

Sequence of Events

The approach speed was insufficient, leading to a bounce upon touchdown. In response, the pilot decided to abort the landing and perform a go-around. However, during the go-around, the aircraft climbed steeply with a high angle of attack, resulting in an aerodynamic stall. The aircraft subsequently impacted the runway and was destroyed.

Injuries and Damage

Both occupants were injured. The aircraft was destroyed in the accident.

Probable Cause

The official investigation determined that the probable cause was the pilot-in-command's improper level off, which led to a failure to obtain or maintain flying speed upon landing.
