What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
According to the pilot. He had completed the ILS rwy 5 instrument approach procedure at eqy to near decision altitude and initiated the missed approach. With a climbing right turn at about 600 feet above ground level (AGL) "the engine suddenly started to falter." The pilot visually checked the mixture, throttle, propeller, and fuel pump settings and turned left for a forced landing on runway 23. The pilot maneuvered the airplane over the trees and buildings on the airport perimeter towards the runway "just above" stall speed. As the airplane neared the landing surface heading about 270 degrees and about 8 feet AGL, the airplane stalled, landed hard on the paved surface, and continued into the grass between the runway and parallel taxiway.
