What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot attempted to land at a higher airspeed (85 mph), than recommended by the pilots operating handbook (74 mph). On landing the aircraft bounced at which time the pilot elected to initiate a go around. The pilot applied full power and pitched to approximately 10 degree pitch up attitude. The aircraft then began turning to the left due to the left turning tendencies normally exhibited during takeoff. The pilot did not apply enough right rudder to counteract the left turn causing the left wing to strike the ground which resulted in the aircraft departing the runway toward the west side of the airport. The aircraft struck a wooden privacy fence at a residence located at 6300 Douglas st. ,on airpark Dallas (F69) and came to rest in the backyard of the residence. The damage to the aircraft was substantial. The aircraft pilot and passenger received minor injuries. Both were treated on scene by EMS personnel. Neither occupant required hospitalization.
