## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON LANDING TOUCHDOWN THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED AND THE RIGHT WING AND NOSE RAISED CAUSING THE PILOT TO INITIATE A GO AROUND. WHEN FULL POWER WAS APPLIED THE ENGINE QUIT AND THE PILOT LOST CONTROL. THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE RUNWAY THEN SLIDE SIDEWAYS OFF THE RUNWAY INTO VEGITATION CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
