NTSB investigators used data provided by various entities, including, but not limited to, the Federal Aviation Administration and/or the operator and did not travel in support of this investigation to prepare this aircraft accident report.
The pilot reported that, just before touchdown, a wind gust lifted the right wing and drifted the airplane to the left of the runway. He added that the airplane touched down and ballooned in a nose-high attitude. The pilot added power and lowered the nose “to prevent a stall,” and the airplane landed hard. The left wingtip struck the ground, and airplane came to rest in the grass to the left of the runway.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot reported that the wind was light and variable.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot’s failure to maintain the runway heading and the improper landing flare during landing.
