Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot stated that she had executed four full-stop, taxi-back landings to runway 09 and one full-stop, taxi-back landing to runway 27. She departed runway 27, remained in the traffic pattern for that runway, but while on short final approach, she realized that the airplane was lined up with the taxiway. She maneuvered to the left in an attempt to salvage the approach, and the airplane then touched down and bounced. The airplane travelled off the left side of the runway onto grass and collided with a ditch, which resulted in substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. She also stated that the accident could have been prevented if she had conducted a go-around.
