What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
06/11/2020 Pilot was in line to depart on 28 and received a call from a pilot behind him of a string hanging from right wing. Pilot shuts off engine gets out, removes string. Gets back in aircraft tries to restart the aircraft and floods the carburetor on his hot IO-360 B1E, and said that it took a couple of tries to clear the fuel and restart. He performed a mag check and no noticeable problem was noticed. Upon roll-out pilot noticed a possible miss in the engine and immediately aborted the take off for further investigation. After another hard run-up and aggressive lean out of carburetor just off the taxiway the pilot stated that the engine seemed ok and taxied aircraft back to runway 28 for takeoff. During roll-out he said that it was difficult for him to tell if the engine was skipping or if the runway was just extremely rough. Once rotation speed was reached, the pilot said that the aircraft gained altitude but not at the rate that was normal under full power. The pilot states that in the seconds that followed he realized that the engine was not making nor was it going to make full power. The pilot states that the skip that he identified before as a fouled plug was having an increasing effect on the engine by the second, and deemed that it was to late to abort and made the decision to do a go around. The pilot flew the aircraft around the pattern and alerted others in the pattern that he needed to land immediately. The pilot states that he tried to manipulate the mixture and throttle to find a possible better setting for more power. The pilot states that by the time the aircraft was even with the threshold on down wind was only able to maintain about 700 feet. The pilot states that he made a controlled hard right turn towards the runway to use what altitude the aircraft had left and the pilot states that the aircraft, losing altitude from loss of engine power, dove hard for the runway. The pilots plan was too put the gear down at the last minute once he knew he made the runway. But in the pilots excitement he waited seconds to late and the plane touched down at idle without the gear fully extended. It slid for a short distance on runway with the nose in a slightly up position. The aircraft propeller struck the ground after the aircraft left the runway and into the grass causing damage to the propeller. Very minimal damage to the aircraft was sustained and was limited to just the lower belly speed brake.
As the FAA filed it
06/11/2020 PILOT WAS IN LINE TO DEPART ON 28 AND RECEIVED A CALL FROM A PILOT BEHIND HIM OF A STRING HANGING FROM RIGHT WING. PILOT SHUTS OFF ENGINE GETS OUT, REMOVES STRING. GETS BACK IN AIRCRAFT TRIES TO RESTART THE AIRCRAFT AND FLOODS THE CARBURETOR ON HIS HOT IO-360 B1E, AND SAID THAT IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TRIES TO CLEAR THE FUEL AND RESTART. HE PERFORMED A MAG CHECK AND NO NOTICEABLE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED. UPON ROLL-OUT PILOT NOTICED A POSSIBLE MISS IN THE ENGINE AND IMMEDIATELY ABORTED THE TAKE OFF FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. AFTER ANOTHER HARD RUN-UP AND AGGRESSIVE LEAN OUT OF CARBURETOR JUST OFF THE TAXIWAY THE PILOT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SEEMED OK AND TAXIED AIRCRAFT BACK TO RUNWAY 28 FOR TAKEOFF. DURING ROLL-OUT HE SAID THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO TELL IF THE ENGINE WAS SKIPPING OR IF THE RUNWAY WAS JUST EXTREMELY ROUGH. ONCE ROTATION SPEED WAS REACHED, THE PILOT SAID THAT THE AIRCRAFT GAINED ALTITUDE BUT NOT AT THE RATE THAT WAS NORMAL UNDER FULL POWER. THE PILOT STATES THAT IN THE SECONDS THAT FOLLOWED HE REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOT MAKING NOR WAS IT GOING TO MAKE FULL POWER. THE PILOT STATES THAT THE SKIP THAT HE IDENTIFIED BEFORE AS A FOULED PLUG WAS HAVING AN INCREASING EFFECT ON THE ENGINE BY THE SECOND, AND DEEMED THAT IT WAS TO LATE TO ABORT AND MADE THE DECISION TO DO A GO AROUND. THE PILOT FLEW THE AIRCRAFT AROUND THE PATTERN AND ALERTED OTHERS IN THE PATTERN THAT HE NEEDED TO LAND IMMEDIATELY. THE PILOT STATES THAT HE TRIED TO MANIPULATE THE MIXTURE AND THROTTLE TO FIND A POSSIBLE BETTER SETTING FOR MORE POWER. THE PILOT STATES THAT BY THE TIME THE AIRCRAFT WAS EVEN WITH THE THRESHOLD ON DOWN WIND WAS ONLY ABLE TO MAINTAIN ABOUT 700 FEET. THE PILOT STATES THAT HE MADE A CONTROLLED HARD RIGHT TURN TOWARDS THE RUNWAY TO USE WHAT ALTITUDE THE AIRCRAFT HAD LEFT AND THE PILOT STATES THAT THE AIRCRAFT, LOSING ALTITUDE FROM LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, DOVE HARD FOR THE RUNWAY. THE PILOTS PLAN WAS TOO PUT THE GEAR DOWN AT THE LAST MINUTE ONCE HE KNEW HE MADE THE RUNWAY. BUT IN THE PILOTS EXCITEMENT HE WAITED SECONDS TO LATE AND THE PLANE TOUCHED DOWN AT IDLE WITHOUT THE GEAR FULLY EXTENDED. IT SLID FOR A SHORT DISTANCE ON RUNWAY WITH THE NOSE IN A SLIGHTLY UP POSITION. THE AIRCRAFT PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND AFTER THE AIRCRAFT LEFT THE RUNWAY AND INTO THE GRASS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER. VERY MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUSTAINED AND WAS LIMITED TO JUST THE LOWER BELLY SPEED BRAKE.
