Analysis

After touchdown, the aircraft began a gentle veer to the right and departed the runway surface approximately midway down the runway. The pilot decided to execute a go-around. A witness stated that N5692U began a right turn "within 10 seconds of being airborne" and that the turn steepened into a steep bank at which time the aircraft entered a "stall-spin". The aircraft struck powerlines and a residence.
