What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Isua air taxi acft experienced #2 engine problems after take-off and returned to land on rwy 3, while N838MA was on short final another acft pulled onto the rwy, N838MA attempted to go around but crashed into a wooded area near the arpt, the acft was destroyed, all 10 POB sustained minor injuries, other circumstances are unknown. (.4) the pilot reported that prior to takeoff, he completed a preflight inspection of the airplane that included checking the engine oil quantity. The line personnel topped off the oil reservoirs, and reportedly secured the engine oil reservoir filler caps. Approximately two minutes into the flight, the right engine oil pressure warning light illuminated. The pilot informed Palm Beach approach control of the engine oil pressure problem, shut down the right engine, and returned to lantana. As the flight approached runway 03, the pilot heard a radio transmission from another airplane taxiing for takeoff. As the pilot continued the approach, with full flaps extended, he elected to go-around 1500 feet from the approach end of the 3000-foot runway. The airplane collided with the ground during the go-around maneuver to runway 15. The wreckage examination also disclosed that the right cowling showed oil streaming back from behind the engine and onto the wing strut. Inspection of the oil filler cap revealed that it had not been properly installed.
