What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 07/13/2022, ATC cleared pilot of privacy data omitted for visual from the downwind to follow a B-757 on a five-mile final approach to runway 34R at kslc. While privacy data omitted was in the flare, the tower reported the B-757 encountered windshear on landing. At 1852 MDT the pilot of privacy data omitted attempted landing on runway 34R, also encountered a windshear and lost directional control after a gust of wind from the west. The pilot elected to go around and notified the tower. The pilot added power to iniate a climb to approximately 30 feet. The aircraft was drifting to the east, the pilot lowreed the left wing to counteract the drift and maintain directional control when the aircraft experienced a downdraft pushing the aircraft onto the right edge or the runway. The left wing left main landing gear made contact with the ground folding the nose gear under, causing the propeller to strike the ground. The nose of the aircraft dug into the ground, the aircraft pitched forward and at the same time, the right wing contacted the ground. The aircraft slid to a stop, the tail dropped back down. There was one person on board with minor injuries.
