Private Airstrip Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Maryville, Tennessee 37801
Tuesady, October 16, 2012 10:30 EDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

According to the pilot, he was attempting to land at a private airstrip. As the pilot flared to land, the airplane impacted the runway and bounced. After the airplane touched down the second time, it struck a divot and bounced off the runway surface again. The pilot realized that he was nearing the end of the runway, and he applied takeoff power to initiate a go-around. However, during the initial climb, the propeller made contact with a fence, and the airplane nosed over, resulting in substantial damage to the wings and empennage. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot’s inadequate recovery from a bounced landing and his subsequent delayed decision to perform a go-around, which resulted in the airplane’s failure to clear obstacles.
