GA SMA STALLED OUT ON FINAL APCH AND LANDED SHORT OF THE RWY GND LOOPING AS IT ROLLED.

Narrative

ON AUG/SAT/91 MR X; A MEMBER OF A FLYING CLUB IN BRIDGEPORT; CT; CAME TO SATISFY HIS 90-DAY CLUB CURRENCY. TO SATISFY THIS REQUIREMENT; THE MEMBER MUST DO 3 TKOFS AND LNDGS WITH AN INSTRUCTOR. I CHOSE TO HELP MR X BY OBSERVING FROM THE R SEAT. UPON COMPLETION; MR X WAS COMPETENT TO MAKE TKOFS AND LNDGS IN THE SMA. NO LOGBOOK WAS PRESENTED; BUT A CLUB RECORD WAS FILLED OUT WITH MY NAME BY MR X. THE RECORD STATED THAT HE WAS CURRENT TO FLY THE SMA AND ALSO THAT HIS MEDICAL WAS CURRENT. MR X STATED THAT HE HAD IN EXCESS OF 400 HRS AND WAS INST CURRENT WITH OVER 30 HRS IN TYPE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING MR X; WITH 4 PAX; FLEW TO MONTAUK; NEW YORK. THE FLT WAS ON AN IFR FLT PLAN. 2 APCHS WERE ATTEMPTED. DURING THE SECOND APCH; A LNDG WAS ATTEMPTED. THE ACFT STALLED AT 15-20 FT AGL (ACCORDING TO PLT); HIT A SAND DUNE; SKIDDED ACROSS THE RWY; AND CAME TO REST ON THE SIDE OF THE RWY. THERE WERE ONLY MINOR INJURIES. IT SEEMS THAT PLTS WITH AS MANY HRS AS MR X MUST UNDERSTAND THEIR ABILITIES. A PROGRAM MUST BE IMPLEMENTED THAT WOULD REQUIRE PLTS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR PERSONAL LIMITATIONS. OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING THE FLT WERE: 1800 FT NARROW ROUGH RWY; LNDG WITH A TAILWIND; OBSTACLES AT BOTH ENDS OF RWY; AND FLYING AT OR OVER GROSS WT.
