What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft was cleared for a straight in approach to runway 22 at pgd. On first approach the aircraft started to sink rapidly and the right wing went down, so the pilot added power and went around. On the second approach the same thing happened but the pilot was not able to get the right wing up and adding power did not help. The aircraft struck trees and settled into the heavy brush on the south side of runway 22 in a northerly heading.
