Accident Details
A pilot/owner was completing a practice instrument approach when he decided to execute a go-around. Upon applying full engine power, the pilot reported that P-factor, combined with a crosswind from the right, caused the left wing and left main landing gear to momentarily contact the ground. In response, the pilot reduced engine power to keep the airplane on the ground. Subsequently, the airplane departed the left side of the runway and struck a sign and an embankment, resulting in substantial damage to the wings and the airframe.
Pilot Report
Following the accident, the pilot reported to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector that there were no deficiencies with the performance and handling of the airplane.
Damage
The impact with the sign and embankment caused substantial damage to the wings and the airframe. No other details about the extent of damage were provided.
