What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft was landing on runway 27 and struck a deer with the right main landing gear, which snapped off. He then performed a go-around maneuver. On the second landing attempt on runway 27 with only the left main gear in place, the aircraft veered to the right after touchdown and struck a taxiway sign marked A3, causing the left main gear to detach. The airplane came to rest on its belly in the grass approximately 150 feet north of the runway, between the runway and parallel taxiway a, pointed in a northwesterly direction. Both propeller blades had contacted a foreign object; one blade was scuffed, and the other was bent rearward at an obtuse angle toward the cockpit. Some damage to the inboard left flap was noted.
Primary flight controls continuity check was good. The aircraft had current registration was on board; however, it did not have a current airworthiness certificate, operating limitations, or a current weight and balance sheet.
