What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot stated that as he attempted to land, the aircraft began to porpoise. The aircraft main gear touched the surface of the runway and the pilot applied power and attempted to land again. The aircraft porpoised again and the pilot decided to go around. When executing the go-around, the pilot stated that he was "behind the aircraft" and that he didn't feel he was going to "clear the trees", and decided to land in a field to the right of runway 32. The pilot stated that the aircraft only has about 100 horsepower and he didn't feel the aircraft was gaining enough altitude. After clearing a fence, the aircraft made contact with the ground resulting in a nose gear collapse, right main gear collapse, right wing damage, left wing damage and right rear fuselage damage aft of right wing. No injuries occurred to either the pilot or the passenger.
