Analysis

The pilot stated that he was on short final when he noticed a higher-than-anticipated sink rate developing, so he added power. About 100 feet from the runway he became distracted by the stall warning light; the airplane landed short of the runway, bounced and struck the propeller before coming to a rest on the runway. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed a bent firewall. The pilot indicated there was nothing wrong with the airplane prior to the accident.
