Background
While approximately 10 miles from Expressway Airpark, the pilot contacted a fixed base operator (FBO) on the Unicom frequency and was advised that the winds were 'out of the north, favoring runway 02.'
Initial Approach and Go-Around
The pilot subsequently announced a 'go-around from runway 20.' The FBO informed the pilot that he was 'trying to land downwind, use runway 02,' to which the pilot replied, 'OK.' The pilot then made another call stating, 'going around at Expressway.'
Flight Instructor Intervention
A flight instructor contacted the pilot and notified him that he was using the wrong runway. The pilot's reply was unclear. The pilot next reported being on a 'left downwind for 02.' The FBO corrected him, stating, 'you are upwind, the winds are from the north, preferred runway is 02.' The pilot replied, 'runway zero two.'
Third Approach and Loss of Control
On the third approach, the airplane touched down beyond the midpoint of runway 20. After rolling for a few feet, the pilot applied power and the airplane climbed to approximately 50 feet above the ground. The landing gear and flaps were retracted as the airplane assumed an exaggerated nose-high climb attitude. Witnesses reported that the airplane was 'waffling' as it continued southbound. Subsequently, the pilot lost control of the airplane, and it impacted the ground.
