Aviation Accident Summary CEN22LA242

Gladewater, TX, USA

Aircraft #1

N364AM

AMD CH2000

Analysis

The student pilot reported that he was performing takeoffs and landings when the airplane bounced twice during landing. The student pilot applied full engine power after the second landing bounce, but the airplane descended and impacted the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and wings. The pilot’s flight instructor, who was monitoring the flight from the ground, reported that he heard an application of full engine power and saw the airplane enter a higher pitch attitude after the airplane bounced a second time, and stalled about 10 ft. above the runway. There were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane that would have precluded normal airplane operation.

Probable Cause and Findings

The student pilot’s failure to maintain/attain aircraft control during a go-around from a bounced landing that resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with terrain.
