What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During landing on runway 31, the aircraft made a hard landing, followed by two or three bounces. The pilot decided to go-around.
During the go-around, the pilot was unable to control laterally, and it subsequently impacted the grassy area to the left of runway 31. The aircraft's right wingtip struck the ground first, followed by the main fuselage impacting the rising slope of a drainage ditch.
The aircraft's fuel tanks were ruptured and a post crash fire ensues. Both the pilot and passenger were able to exit the aircraft with serious injuries which were non-burn related.
