## Narrative

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

PILOT CONDUCTED A WHEEL LANDING ON RUNWAY 4, AT THE PROPER SPEED AND LANDED ON RUNWAY CENTERLINE.  THE AIRPLANE SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO TURN RIGHT.  THE PILOT APPLIED FULL POWER TO GO AROUND, GOT AIRBORNE ABOUT 15 FT, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE ENOUGH POWER TO COMPLETE THE GO AROUND. THE PILOT LANDED, AND GROUND LOOPED THE AIRCRAFT.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
