Landing and Veer
As the airplane crossed the runway threshold, the pilot leveled the pitch attitude and began to flare for landing. The airplane touched down approximately 1,500 feet from the runway threshold, then veered to the right. It crossed over grass adjacent to the runway, heading toward a crowd of people.
Aborted Landing and Damage
The pilot decided to abort the landing. During the go-around, the airplane came into contact with a runway edge light, a direction sign for the runway exit, and a taxiway location sign.
Jammed Elevator
Following the initial climb, the pilot determined that the elevator was jammed. However, he was able to control the altitude of the airplane by adding power to climb and reducing power to descend. After gaining control, he declared an emergency.
Final Landing
The final approach, flare, and landing were uneventful.
