## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ACFT ATTEMPTED TO ABORT THE LANDING, TRIED TO GO AROUND BUT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPEED. (.4)AFTER TOUCHING DOWN IN A 10 TO 15 KNOT CROSSWIND, THE PILOT FOUND THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS MOVING '...QUICKLY TO THE RIGHT.' HE THEREFORE DECIDED TO EXECUTE A GO-AROUND. ALTHOUGH THE AIRCRAFT SUCCESSFULLY LIFTED OFF THE RUNWAY, THE HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE KEPT IT FROM OUTCLIMBING THE SURROUNDING TERRAIN. AS THE PILOT RAISED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP IT CLIMBING OVER THE RISING TERRAIN, THE AIRCRAFT STALLED, CAUGHT A WING AND CARTWHEELED.
