Read the full NTSB narrative
During the landing on runway 01, the airplane bounced, and the pilot aborted the landing. He added full power, "pulled it up into a nose-high attitude, stalled, rolled left, and impacted the ground." A witness estimated that the pitch-up attitude was "about 35 degrees." The pilot reported 4 hours of experience in make and model, and that there were no deficiencies in the performance and handling of the airplane.
