NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that while landing the tailwheel-equipped airplane in a slight crab, it bounced on touchdown. She was unable to maintain directional control and the airplane veered off of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing and subsequent loss of directional control during the landing roll.
