NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that during the initial touch down the airplane bounced, the pilot elected to abort the landing, and the airplane drifted to the left of the runway when power was applied. The pilot stated that the airplane did not have sufficient airspeed when she retracted the first notch of flaps, the airplane descended and the right wing impacted the ground, resulting in substantial damage to the right wing.

The pilot reported there were no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain pitch control during landing, which resulted in a bounce and loss of control during landing, followed by a runway excursion, and collision with terrain during an attempt to abort the landing.
