On May 14, 2000, at about 1600 eastern daylight time, a Beech 18, N6082, registered to a private owner, operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, experienced a loss of control on-ground while attempting a go-around at Monroe Airport, Monroe, North Carolina. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The commercial pilot reported no injuries. The flight originated from Pell City, Alabama, about 2 hours 15 minutes before the accident. The pilot stated he entered the traffic pattern for a left downwind to runway 05.
