Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control during recovery from a bounced landing.
NTSB analysis
The pilot reported that during landing the airplane suddenly dropped just prior to the landing flare with engine power at idle and bounced. The pilot immediately applied full engine power, and the airplane veered left. The airplane impacted terrain on the left side of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
