Airport Area Accident History:
The pilot reported that approximately 40
minutes prior to landing he noted a reduction in manifold pressure and
indicated airspeed, however he elected to continue the flight to his
flight-planned destination. He reported that the airplane's approach speed
was slow and that he added power too late. A witness stated the airplane
seemed slow during the final approach segment of the flight and appeared to
have stalled approximately 30-40 feet above the runway. After contacting the
runway, the airplane bounced and the pilot applied power. After contacting
the runway the second time, the airplane veered off the runway and come to
rest west of the intended runway.
