What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) According to the pilot, he was conducting high speed taxi checks when the airplane inadvertently became airborne. The pilot privacy data omitted stated he continued the takeoff to avoid going off the end of the runway. He flew the airplane around the traffic pattern. While on the approach he said there was another airplane on the runway. This prompted him to make a go-around. During the go-around the engine started missing and then quit altogether. He said he checked the fuel shutoff valve, mixture and ignition with no effect. While attempting an emergency landing, the airplane struck a mound of dirt beside the runway. It is worth noting that during a subsequent telecon interview with FAA inspectors privacy data omitted, the pilot privacy data omitted knew what the rotation speed of the aircraft was (50 mph). He further stated this was about the speed at which the aircraft was lifted off.
