Accident Overview
An aircraft crashed alongside the runway during an attempted go-around. The runway in use was Runway 17, and the wind was from 250 degrees at 15 knots, gusting to 24 knots.
Sequence of Events
The pilot reported that he could not align the aircraft with the runway, prompting him to retract the landing gear and initiate a go-around. However, the aircraft would not climb out of ground effect. It settled back to the ground approximately 100 feet off the side of the runway. After skidding 100 to 150 feet, the wind lifted the wing, causing the aircraft to go over onto its back.
Aftermath
The aircraft came to rest inverted alongside the runway. The pilot's account provided the details of the attempted go-around and the subsequent loss of altitude.
