THE PERSONAL FLIGHT DEPARTED HARTFORD-BRAINARD AIRPORT EN ROUTE TO LAKESIDE AND WAS UNEVENTFUL. THE APPROACH WAS NORMAL, BUT TOUCHDOWN WAS HARD. POWER WAS ADDED FOR A GO-AROUND, BUT THE AIRCRAFT VEERED LEFT OFF OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT STATED THE AIRCRAFT WAS STILL IN GROUND EFFECT, SO HE DECREASED THE FLAPS TO 20 DEGREES. THE AIRCRAFT THEN SETTLED HARD, THE PROPELLER CAUGHT IN SOME DIRT AND THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED OVER.
Probable Cause: IMPROPER FLARE BY THE PILOT, AND HIS FAILURE TO ATTAIN ADEQUATED AIRSPEED FOR AN ABORTED LANDING (GO-AROUND), WHICH RESULTED IN A LOSS OF AIRCRAFT CONTROL.
