Narrative:
Vgt at XA25 pm. I was cleared to land on runway 7. I was approximately 1.5 mi from runway 7 when I noticed a swirl of dust like a funnel small on bottom and large on top. My power was on low flaps down, gear down at 110 KTS approach. At the time I was 2400 ft AGL, all of a sudden I dropped 1500 ft. My plane went into a stall. I gave full power and gained power rapidly and went approximately 20 ft off the end of the runway. There was no damage to my plane or to the runway. The surface area was clean and well groomed.

Narrative: VGT AT XA25 PM. I WAS CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 7. I WAS APPROX 1.5 MI FROM RWY 7 WHEN I NOTICED A SWIRL OF DUST LIKE A FUNNEL SMALL ON BOTTOM AND LARGE ON TOP. MY PWR WAS ON LOW FLAPS DOWN, GEAR DOWN AT 110 KTS APCH. AT THE TIME I WAS 2400 FT AGL, ALL OF A SUDDEN I DROPPED 1500 FT. MY PLANE WENT INTO A STALL. I GAVE FULL PWR AND GAINED PWR RAPIDLY AND WENT APPROX 20 FT OFF THE END OF THE RWY. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY PLANE OR TO THE RWY. THE SURFACE AREA WAS CLEAN AND WELL GROOMED.
