Analysis

Same as Factual Information

Factual Information

The pilot was landing the airplane on a 1,350-foot-long turf runway. On touchdown, the airplane veered right. The pilot added power and the airplane became airborne. The airplane touched down a second time and again veered. The pilot applied full power but there was insufficient room for a go-around or safe stop. He reduced power, and the airplane overran the runway and collided with a rock pile. The right main landing gear separated and the fuselage sustained structural damage.

Probable Cause and Findings

The pilot's failure to initiate a timely go-around after the first bounce.
