NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that the airplane was low and he felt "rushed" during final approach. He further reported that during the landing roll the airplane "started to veer off the runway," so he applied power to abort the landing. During the aborted landing, the pilot reported that he "pulled back" on the yoke; the airplane aerodynamically stalled and impacted on the grass to the left of the runway and nosed over.

The fuselage, left wing, and vertical stabilizer sustained substantial damage.

The pilot did not report any preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during an attempted go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
