## Narrative

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

AS THE WHEELS OF THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED THE RUNWAY AT GPT THE PILOT DECIDED THAT HE WAS FURTHER RIGHT OF CENTER THAN HE WANTED TO BE DUE TO A CROSS WIND.  THE PILOT THEN DECIDED TO ABORT THE LANDING AND PERFORM A GO AROUND, INCREASING THE THROTTLE TO FULL AND APPLYING RIGHT RUDDER. THE AIRCRAFT IMMEDIATELY CUT LEFT CROSSING THE RUNWAY AND EXITED INTO THE GRASS. SHORTLY AFTER ENTERING THE GRASS THE TIP OF THE RIGHT WING IMPACTED THE GROUND WHICH ALSO CAUSED THE PROPELLER TO IMPACT THE GROUND; THE IMPACT ADDITIONALLY CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR.
