Aircraft Damage:Substantial
Defining Event: Miscellaneous/other
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
The pilot in the retractable landing gear-equipped airplane reported that during landing and just before touchdown, the stall warning horn sounded. He heard a "scraping-sounding," and, "I thought the stall horn was the gear warning annunciator."
The pilot aborted the landing and rapidly increased the throttle to produce full engine power. He recalled that, "I did not put in enough right rudder," to counter the torque and p-factor. The airplane drifted over the left edge of the asphalt runway and began to climb. However, the airplane impacted the rising terrain and skidded to a stop.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the lower fuselage.
Additionally, the pilot reported that he should have relied upon the "three in the green" before aborting the landing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
