## Narrative

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

PILOT ADDED POWER TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE AIRCRAFT DUE TO NOT BEING ALIGNED WITH THE CENTER LINE OF THE RUNWAY. ADDING POWER CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SPUTTER AND LACK POWER. PILOT ATTEMPTED TO EXECUTE A GO AROUND BUT BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS NOT DEVELOPING ENOUGH POWER AND GETTING CLOSE TO HANGERS HE TOUCHED DOWN OFF RUNWAY IN ROUGH TERRAIN. BOTH MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED.
