Read the full NTSB narrative
DURING THE TRAFFIC PATTERN FOR A TOUCH-AND-GO, THE PILOT DECIDED TO MAKE A SHORT FIELD LANDING. AFTER THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN, THE PILOT MOVED THE FLAP SELECTOR TO THE 'UP' POSITION, ADDED POWER, AND SET THE CARBURETOR HEAT TO THE 'COLD' POSITION. THE AIRPLANE BECAME AIRBORNE AND STARTED TO 'PORPOISE'. THE AIRPLANE DEPARTED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, TRAVELED THROUGH THE GRASS, CROSSED A TAXIWAY, AND CAME TO REST IN WET GRASSY TERRAIN 1,000 FEET FROM THE RUNWAY. THE AIRPLANE FIREWALL, LEFT WING SPAR, AND REAR INNER SPAR WERE DAMAGED.
