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

The approach was stabilized at 65 knots in gusty conditions with 40 degrees flaps. During the flare, the speed had dropped to about 50 knots. The nose suddenly pitched up about 20 degrees, and the aircraft dropped on the runway from about 4-feet altitude, bounced hard and became airborne. The pilot applied full power in a go-around attempt, and the aircraft remained airborne for about 150 yards, veered to the left and impacted the right wing tip, followed by another hard nose down landing on the grass. The weather was clear with at least 10 miles viability and the wind was 10 knots gusting to 25 from 40 degrees. The landing attempt followed an IFR flight from panama city, FL. A preflight briefing was obtained prior to the flight.
