## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT CIRCLED THE FIELD AND ATEMPTED A LANDING ON RUNWAY 03. THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOO HIGH AND TOO FAST AND THE PILOT EXECUTED A GO AROUND AT THE POINT OF 1/3 OF RUNWAY REMAINING. THE WIND WAS 180 DEGREES AND 10 MPH WHICH IS A TAIL WIND. ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, HE TRIED TO FORCE THE LANDING @ 1200 FT OF RUNWAY REMAINING AND MADE A LARGE BOUNCE @ 1000 FT OF RUNWAY REMAINING AND EAST SIDE OF RUNWAY MARKERS. HE POWERED UP FOR ANOTHER GO AROUND AND ENTERED A STALL/SPIN AND COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST BETWEEN PINE TREES IN A NOSE DOWN VERTICAL POSITION AND ON A HEADING OF 170 DEGREES. THE COMMERCIAL RATED PILOT RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES AND WAS AIRLIFTED TO RICHLAND MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN COLUMBIA, SC. PILOT WAS INTERVIEWED AND MADE A WRITTEN STATEMENT THAT HE ATTEMPED A GO-AROUND AND THE PLANE STALLED 50 FT ABOVE THE GROUND AND MADE A 180 DEGREE TURN.
