## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) AIRCRAFT DEPARTED RUNWAY 20 AT SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI (SGF), ENROUTE TO BIRD FIELD (2MO1), APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES NW OF SGF. THE SURFACE WINDS AT SGF WERE LIGHT AND VARIABLE, SO THE PILOT ELECTED TO CROSS MID-FIELD AND ENTER A LEFT DOWNWIND FOR A LANDING TO THE NORTH AT 2MO1. FINAL APPROACH WAS FLOWN AT 80 MPH WITH 2 NOTCHES OF FLAPS. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN WITHIN THE FIRST THIRD OF THE RUNWAY, BUT THE PILOT DECIDED TO GO-AROUND. AFTER INITIATING THE GO-AROUND, THE PILOT DECIDED THE AIRPLANE WOULD NOT CLEAR THE POWER LINES SO HE ABORTED THE TAKEOFF. THE AIRCRAFT OVERRAN THE RUNWAY AND HIT A UTILITY POLE WHICH SEVERED THE RIGHT WING CAUSING THE AIRPLANE TO FLIP OVER. ^PRIVACY DATA OMIT^
