From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) On November 7, 2001 at approximately 1600 MST a Beechcraft A-36 was substantially damaged when the pilot, Mr. Daniel collins became ill with stomach problems. He asked his safety pilot Mr. Pyle if he could land the aircraft at Crownpoint, NM and Mr. Pyle agreed. The aircraft made a hard landing and bounced, veering to the left and off the runway, and scraped the left wing in the soft dirt. The left main gear touched down, then the right gear and nose wheel. The pilots attempted a go around with the nose in a very high attitude. The aircraft left the ground for approximately 240 feet, and the left wing contacted the ground again. It skidded along the ground and the left main hit again and then the right wheel hit. The aircraft was skidding sideways and hit the fence in a nose high attitude. The two wooden post were impacted by the propeller, the right wing root, and the right wing at approx 3 feet out on the wing. The wooden post were severed and drug for approximately 40 feet with barbed wire attached to them. (.4) the private pilot, who was occupying the left seat, was on an instrument cross-country training flight, accompanied by another private pilot, who occupied the right seat as a safety pilot. As the flight progressed, the left seat pilot complained of feeling ill, telling the safety pilot that he didn't think he could make it to the destination airport and needed a "restroom break." Both pilots then agreed to land at an airport along the route of flight. The left seat pilot relinquished control of the aircraft to the right seat safety pilot. The safety pilot then over flew the runway and determined the wind to be very light . During the landing flare, the airplane began to bank to the left, and when the airplane was no longer over the runway, a go-around was initiated. Power was added and flaps were retracted from 30 degrees to 0 degrees. The airplane failed to climb, subsequently impacting a fence and some poles, coming to rest approximately 200 yards left of the runway. The safety pilot had no experience landing the airplane from the right seat. According to the airplane's pilot operating handbook, when executing a go around, the flaps should not be retracted until all obstacles are cleared.
