- Date: April 24, 2024
- Aircraft: Socata TBM-850
- Location: Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot continued an unstabilized approach, which caused a bounced landing, and then failed to keep airspeed and climb attitude, leading to an aerodynamic stall (NTSB).
A Daher TBM 850 bounced on landing at Raleigh Durham, damaged its propeller on the runway, aborted the landing and stalled after a tight left turn at about 100 feet, hitting the ground. The pilot and passenger survived. The NTSB blamed continuing an unstabilized approach and exceeding the critical angle of attack.
