On June 16, 2001, about 1515 Alaska daylight time, a Piper PA-22 airplane, N9704D, sustained substantial damage during a landing at the Lake Hood Strip, Anchorage, Alaska. The airplane was being operated as a visual flight rules (VFR) local area personal flight, when the accident occurred. The airplane was operated by the pilot. The private certificated pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. During a telephone conversation with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge (IIC), on June 16th, the pilot reported that he was landing on runway 13. He said that he bounced the landing, added a small amount of power, but bounced again. He then added full engine power to abort the landing. The airplane veered to the left, went off the side of the runway, and nosed over. The airplane received damage to the vertical stabilizer and the left wing. At 1453, an Aviation Routine Weather Report (METAR) at Anchorage was reporting in part: Wind, 235 degrees at 6 knots; visibility, 10 statute miles; clouds and sky condition, clear; temperature, 74 degrees F; dew point, 46 degrees F; altimeter, 30.07 inHg.
