What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot was attempting to land with a crosswind of approximately 14 knots from the left. During the flare, the aircraft drifted to the right of the centerline of the runway prior to touchdown, and the pilot initiated a go-around. During the go-around the pilot added full power, immediately retracted the flaps from 30 degrees to 0 degrees, and then landed in the grass on the right side of the runway. The aircraft received damage to the empennage upon touchdown.
