What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot retracted landing gear prior to retracting flaps to the approach position without establishing a positive rate of climb while executing a go-around. Due to the lack of a positive rate of climb the aircraft settled into the runway resulting in damage to the propeller, sudden engine stoppage and damage to the belly of the aircraft. The aircraft slid off the runway into the grass striking a runway edge light which ripped open a section of the belly of the aircraft. After review the amount of damage to the aircraft was determined to be substantial.
