Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during an attempted go-around, resulting in a loss of directional control, and subsequent collapse of the left main landing gear after the airplane departed the runway.

Factual narrative

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. The airplane bounced on landing, and the airplane started to swerve on landing rollout. He applied power to make a go-around. The left engine hesitated and the right engine developed power. He lost directional control, the airplane went off the left side of the runway and the left main landing gear collapsed. The airplane bounced on landing and started to swerve on the landing roll.
