Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING A LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED, CAME DOWN, BOUNCED AGAIN AND BALLOONED. AT THAT MOMENT, HE ELECTED TO GO AROUND. HE STATED THAT HE ADVANCED THE THROTTLE AND RETRACTED THE GEAR TO REDUCE DRAG, BUT THE ENGINE DIED AND THE PLANE NOSED IN. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, HE REPORTED THAT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE RETRACTED THE GEAR UNTIL HE HAD A POSITIVE RATE OF CLIMB AND HE SHOULD HAVE ADVANCED THE TROTTLE MORE SLOWLY.
