## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS EXECUTING A VFR LANDING AND BOUNCED ON THE MAIN LANDING GEAR. ONCE AIRBORNE AGAIN, HE ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND MANEUVER. PILOT STATED THE ENGINE WOULD NOT MAKE FULL POWER AND IT WAS SLOWING DOWN.  PILOT STATED HE RAISED THE LANDING GEAR TO REDUCE DRAG, BUT THE PLANE CONTINUED TO SLOW.  HE RAISED THE FLAPS FROM FULL TO APPROACH, BUT IT CONTINUED TO SLOW. SO HE RAISED THE FLAPS COMPLETELY, AND THE AIRPLANE STALLED ONTO THE RUNWAY.

THE AIRPLANE SLID TO A STOP ON ITS BELLY AFTER GOING THRU THE DEPARTURE END RUNWAY LIGHTS.  A SMALL GRASS FIRE STARTED WHICH THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED.
