Brennand Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Neenah, Wisconsin
Wednesday, July 27, 2005 16:20 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The airplane stalled while on short final to land after the pilot attempted to execute a go-around. The pilot reported that while on short final he thought he was "a bit high and slow for landing so I applied full throttle to make a Go-Around. Upon this rapid application of power the nose of the aircraft rose and the aircraft turned to the left and made ground contact with the left wing."

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot failed to maintain sufficient airspeed on final approach to avoid a stall, resulting in an inadvertent stall and uncontrolled descent to the terrain.
