Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Corona, California 92880
Tuesady, April 12, 2011 8:53 PDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot stated that he was practicing a touch-and-go landing and that he pulled up the controls during the landing flare because the airplane was high. He then realized that the airplane was about to stall and added power. The airplane turned left about 45 degrees, bounced once in the adjacent grass, and crossed a taxiway. The airplane subsequently impacted a hangar and the airplane’s engine section to the firewall went through the closed hangar door. Both wings and the cabin area of the fuselage were badly bent and wrinkled. Postaccident examination of the engine, airframe, and flight controls revealed no deficiencies that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot’s loss of airplane control during the landing flare.
