| Summary: | After initiating a go-around, the aircraft veered left and commenced a shallow climb before suddenly rolling right and descending steeply onto a tidal flat. The pilot initiated a go-around from final approach because of a vehicle on the airstrip. The left propeller showed little evidence of rotation damage. The reason for a possible loss of left engine power could not be determined. For reasons that could not be established, the pilot lost control of the aircraft at a low height. |
