What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-16) Pilot stated that during a go around, runway 32 at riverside airport, the aircraft would not climb very well with full power and flaps. After retracting the flaps 50%, the aircraft began to settle. Pilot said he continued to apply back pressure to the control yoke when the aircraft banked left and descended into some trees. The right outboard wing hit a power line pole and separated. The aircraft came to rest in an area of small trees. The local flight school owner and eye witness stated the pilot did not make a radio call or request airport advisories. He also stated that the wind direction was from the east and the aircraft had at least a 10 knot tailwind at the time of landing attempt.
