What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On April 25, 2022 at approximately 1015 hours (local), N9583C, a PA-32 was attempting to land at Whittaker Field in Fountain Inn, SC. The PIC circled the field twice and on the third traffic pattern initiated the landing. The aircraft landed approximately in the last 1/3 of the grass runway. During the roll out, the aircraft traveled along the remaining grass runway surface and up a slight grassy berm. The aircraft became airborne again and the left wing contacted a metal pole and fence post tearing the left wing and landing gear from the aircraft. The nose of the aircraft spun to the left and came to rest against a chain link fence.
