The NTSB preliminary report has been issued.

PIO. Certainly not the first and sadly not the last.


Landing bunny-hops, specially divergent hops are risky.
I did a series like that on first landing a short coupled
Tippsey Nipper long ago.
But they were not divergent. Just bounce, power, try again - three or
four times. Naughty. One bounce is cause enough to go round, no doubt.

Never heard these called a "PIO" before - which I associate with
control corrections which cause divergent oscillations, for which the
remedy is to remove your hands from the yoke!

Still, bunny hops ARE divergent oscillations, come to think of it....
