| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that just prior to touchdown the airplane encountered a gust of wind, which forced the airplane off of the runway heading. The pilot applied power to go around; however, during the transition to climb, the airplane collided with a taxiway sign, sustaining substantial damage to the side of the fuselage. The pilot continued the climb and returned to land without further incident. No preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures were reported with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to compensate for the gusting wind and failure to maintain airplane control during the approach to land.
