Investigator assessment

Analysis narrative

The private pilot was conducting touch and go landings to the runway. The airplane touched down and ballooned back into the air and started a turn to the right in a nose up attitude. A witness heard an increase in engine power and observed the nose of the airplane pitch down to the left. The left wing tip and nose wheel collided with the runway separating the nose wheel. The airplane bounced, the right wing tip collided with the runway, and the airplane came to a complete stop in the grass.
