What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On April 17, 2012, at approximately 1515 PDT, N3272S Cessna 182G collided with a hangar after it landed mid-field on runway 16 at Georgetown Airport (E36). While on final approach to runway 16, the pilot noted that he experienced wind shear, and the airplane bounced as it touched down halfway along the length of the runway; one witness described excessive engine speed at the time. The pilot did not attempt a go around, and despite his effort to maintain directional control, the airplane skidded about 350 feet down the runway, across a dirt median and a taxiway for nearly 250 feet before it impacted with a hangar. Inspection of aircraft components did not reveal any mechanical irregularities.
