NTSB Factual Report

The pilot had just purchased the airplane, but in the past had owned and flown a similar model. He was on his fourth attempted landing at his first stopover point. The airplane bounced, and the right wing contacted the ground, sustaining substantial damage. The airplane veered off the right side of runway 19. The pilot tapped the brakes and the airplane came to rest with its nose down.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate recovery from a bounced landing.
