NTSB narrative
The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during landing, the airplane bounced and then veered right. The airplane exited the right side of the runway, and he applied full throttle to abort the landing. He recalled that the airplane did not climb above the obstacles "because I failed to reposition the flaps on go around." The airplane collided with trees and stopped.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings.
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable cause
The pilot's improper landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing and his subsequent failure to maintain directional control. Also causal to the accident was the pilot’s failure to retract the flaps during the aborted landing, which resulted in the airplane’s failure to climb and a subsequent collision with trees.

Source notes (5)
- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status, coordinates. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
- API snapshot SHA-256: 50ae13c38268e3261b08201fa1844295bd45d8aa39fb71bd175c8380760e329f; retrieved 2026-09-16T08:22:04.955Z.
- Corrected after a review of the NTSB narrative, which states these values explicitly: departure, destination. 9A0 is Lumpkin County-Wimpys Airport at Dahlonega, GA; 'Dahlonga' is a misspelling. 9A0 is Lumpkin County-Wimpys Airport at Dahlonega, GA; 'Dahlonga' is a misspelling.
