What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) PIC reported that after making a landing on a wet grass strip the braking action on the wheels was not effective and he was not going to make a successful stop so he decided to abort the landing and take-off again. The aircraft rotated at minimum take-off speed but did not have sufficient climb speed to clear some trees at the end of the runway. He turned the aircraft back toward the runway, the aircraft stalled right wing down and impacted the ground short of the runway causing substantial damage to the right wing, engine compartment and empennage. This was the second landing within thirty minutes, the PIC reported minimum braking action during the first landing and he had some difficulty in stopping the aircraft due to the wet conditions.
