What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During landing, the aircraft bounced twice before the pilot executed a go-around past the midfield point. There was a left quartering tailwind of less than 8 knots. The aircraft then entered a left turn at low altitude. It continued to descend, struck a tree and light pole before impacting terrain. Post-impact fire destroyed the aircraft except for right wing tip, engine, and engine cowling.
