Sedona, Arizona 86336
Saturday, June 21, 2014 9:30 MST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that the airplane landed hard and bounced. Following the bounce he applied full power to abort the landing, but the airplane was slow to accelerate, and drifted off the runway to the left. The airplane impacted a grassy area between the runway and the taxiway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings and fuselage. The density altitude at the time of the accident was reported as 7,500 feet. 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 flare and failure to maintain directional control during the aborted landing.
