What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft?s speed was above the flight manuals recommended landing speed which led to a need to perform a go-around. The pilot then heard a direction from the tower for an immediate left turn. The available flight data suggests the aircraft at the point of the initiated turn was too slow and its flight controls weren?t verified to be in the go-around configuration which resulted in the plane departing controlled flight.
