Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Miami, Florida 33116
Friday, June 8, 2001 19:42 EDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot stated that while on final approach, he was instructed to go-around by the air traffic controller. He applied full engine power and noticed that he had a nose up attitude. He immediately lowered the nose. The airplane yawed to the left and he attempted to correct the yaw by applying right aileron and right rudder. The airplane dropped abruptly and hit the runway, causing the nose landing gear to collapse. The airplane then skidded off the runway and nosed over.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during a go-around resulting in the airplane stalling, descending uncontrolled, impacting the runway, and sliding off the runway and nosing over.
