According to the pilot, he was attempting to land at a private airstrip. As the pilot flared to land, the airplane impacted the runway and bounced. After the airplane touched down the second time, it struck a divot and bounced off the runway surface again. The pilot realized that he was nearing the end of the runway, and he applied takeoff power to initiate a go-around. However, during the initial climb, the propeller made contact with a fence, and the airplane nosed over, resulting in substantial damage to the wings and empennage. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
According to the pilot, he was attempting to land at a private airstrip. During landing, as he flared the airplane, it impacted the runway and bounced. The airplane continued to float down to the runway, but after touching down again it struck a divot and bounced off the runway surface. The airplane continued about 200 feet until the pilot realized that he was about 400 feet from the end of the runway. The pilot applied takeoff power to initiate a go around; however, during the initial climb the propeller made contact with a fence and the airplane nosed over, resulting in substantial damage to the wings and empennage. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot’s inadequate recovery from a bounced landing and his subsequent delayed decision to perform a go-around, which resulted in the airplane’s failure to clear obstacles.
