That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N58628's record changes.
The pilot reported that, during landing, the airplane bounced multiple times. He added power and reduced the flaps to go around, but the airplane was not climbing more than 25 ft. He waited to see if the situation would improve, but he ran out of runway. He turned right, still unable to climb, reduced power, and landed off airport. The airplane bounced a few times and the nose landing gear collapsed.
He added that it was possible that "putting the flaps up un-incrementally could have prevented" his ability to climb.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The airport's automated weather observation station reported that, about 4 minutes after the accident, the wind was from 250° at 7 knots. The pilot landed the airplane on runway 28.
Federal Aviation Administration's Airplane Flying Handbook, FAA-H-8083-3B, contains a section titled "Go-Arounds (Rejected Landings)" which states:
Caution must be used in retracting the flaps. Depending on the airplane's altitude and airspeed, it is wise to retract the flaps intermittently in small increments to allow time for the airplane to accelerate progressively as they are being raised. A sudden and complete retraction of the flaps could cause a loss of lift resulting in the airplane settling into the ground.
