Tulsa, Oklahoma 74108
Wednesday, March 26, 2003 16:30 CST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The single-engine airplane stalled during the landing flare/touchdown, bounced into the air, then touched down again, nosed over and came to rest inverted. The pilot stated that he let the airplane get to slow on the approach and it could have been prevented by "receiving more dual training on crosswind/gusts, short field landings, also recovery from slow flight stalls."

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall.
