Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that the airplane touched down hard and bounced. She applied full power with full flaps and the airplane pitched up excessively and stalled. She was unable to regain control, and the airplane collided with the ground in a steep, nose low attitude, sustaining substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot said there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
