Narrative:
A Piper PA-28-181 Archer II veered off to the left of runway 03L during landing at Genk-Zwartberg Airfield (GNK/EBZW). When the pilot saw he was quickly approaching another airplane holding short on a taxiway, he attempted a go-around. He was able to avoid the other airplane but stalled shortly afterwards. The airplane hit the corner of a hangar and lost its left wing, with the fuselage crashing into the hangar.

Both occupants suffered minor injuries and the aircraft received substantial damage

It was reported that there were easterly winds at 12 to 15 knots at the time of the accident.
