He decided to go around. He applied full power and raised the landing gear; the flaps remained at 30 degrees (full down). The pilot said that the airplane settled to the ground and subsequently exited the left side of the runway. Both wings and the fuselage were wrinkled, and the right engine mount was broken. The airplane's Pilot Owner's Handbook procedure for a balked landing states that the flaps must be raised to 0 degrees. The POH also states that the maximum demonstrated crosswind for landing was 30 knots. ## Factual narrative On June 24, 2002, at 1657 mountain daylight time, a Beech 58P, N94PB, was destroyed during a go-around attempt at Jeffco Airport, Broomfield, Colorado.
