What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Winds were light and sky conditions clear when the pilot attempted to land the conventional geared tailwheel twin Beech airplane on a dry runway 05 at Monroe municipal airport (eqy). A line serivce worker observed a touch down hard enough that the plane bounced back into the air, veered to the left, slammed into the adjacent sod area, and then skidded to a stop just short of the terminal ramp area. The pilot has no similar type twin tailwheel experience and had checked out in this airplane 11 days prior. He flew it approximately 36 hours in that 11 days period. He said that after the touchdown and bounce he attempted a go-around with full power, and that he left engine did not seem to respond as the plane went left.
