Narrative:

No oxygen was aboard aircraft. After crossing ridge 35 NM south of destination airport pilot started descent to 2000 ft AGL (8500 fl MSL) encountering small chop. At the time pilot had been at 12500 ft for approximately 1 hour and above 10500 MSL for approximately 1 hour 20 mins. Pilot overflew airport to observe vicinity and continued north 5 NM for area viewing, returned to destination airport descending to 1000 ft AGL and obtained field advisory on CTAF. Runway in use winds 40 degrees right at 10 KTS. Temperature high 80's. Airport elevation 6200+ ft runway 6000 ft X 150 ft. Pilot previously determined density altitude would not be landing distance limitation but would experience higher ground speed on rollout. Pilot entered left downwind on 45 degree entry with gear down and at 100 mph IAS, turned base at 90 mph and after calling position (downwind, base and final) established 80 mph final GS with full flaps (3 notches). Pilot operating handbook calls for 81 mph on final but aircraft was 370 pounds under gross. Pilot reported GS stabilized looked normal, tracking runway centerline with touchdown point appearing just beyond displaced runway threshold. Pilot reports propeller position forward (high). Mixture set for full power at elevation for possible go around. Aircraft touchdown not hard but aircraft ballooned and changed heading 10-20 degrees to left from wind gust. Aircraft settled to runway, flaps were raised in anticipation of heavy braking requirements as per placard. Aircraft continued track to left and pilot elected to go around, adding full power without lowering 15 degree flaps per placard and in attempting to clean up aircraft inadvertently put gear switch in up position but reasoned weight on gear would keep gear down until switch reposed down, which pilot failed to do, even though recognized big mistake after gear switch moved. Aircraft appeared to leave runway approximately 1335 ft from threshold or 1100 ft from touchdown point. On heading of 10 degrees left of runway centerline left wheel was on ground 60 ft. After leaving runway aircraft became airborne for 430 ft along track 50 ft to left of and parallel to runway along obstruction free path. Pilot reported stall warning horn on at low altitude. Aircraft settled to ground and skidded 230 ft. Approximately last 50 ft skid aircraft turned 60 degrees to right. Right wing struck ground, right main and nose wheel up. Propeller contacted ground. Aircraft came to rest 35 ft from left edge of runway. No personal injuries or other property damage. Aircraft raised, gear locked down, towed to FBO ramp for parking 3 hours later. Pilot also reported transit of northeast corner of MOA for 30 NM without contacting controling agency because MOA not noticed on chart due to lack of color contrast.

Title: SMA PLT MAKING XWIND LNDG LOOSES ACFT CTL. ATTEMPTING GAR RAISES GEAR PRIOR TO LIFTOFF. RWY EXCURSION.

Narrative: NO OXYGEN WAS ABOARD ACFT. AFTER XING RIDGE 35 NM S OF DEST ARPT PLT STARTED DSCNT TO 2000 FT AGL (8500 FL MSL) ENCOUNTERING SMALL CHOP. AT THE TIME PLT HAD BEEN AT 12500 FT FOR APPROX 1 HR AND ABOVE 10500 MSL FOR APPROX 1 HR 20 MINS. PLT OVERFLEW ARPT TO OBSERVE VICINITY AND CONTINUED N 5 NM FOR AREA VIEWING, RETURNED TO DEST ARPT DSNDING TO 1000 FT AGL AND OBTAINED FIELD ADVISORY ON CTAF. RWY IN USE WINDS 40 DEGS R AT 10 KTS. TEMP HIGH 80'S. ARPT ELEVATION 6200+ FT RWY 6000 FT X 150 FT. PLT PREVIOUSLY DETERMINED DENSITY ALT WOULD NOT BE LNDG DISTANCE LIMITATION BUT WOULD EXPERIENCE HIGHER GND SPD ON ROLLOUT. PLT ENTERED L DOWNWIND ON 45 DEG ENTRY WITH GEAR DOWN AND AT 100 MPH IAS, TURNED BASE AT 90 MPH AND AFTER CALLING POS (DOWNWIND, BASE AND FINAL) ESTABLISHED 80 MPH FINAL GS WITH FULL FLAPS (3 NOTCHES). PLT OPERATING HANDBOOK CALLS FOR 81 MPH ON FINAL BUT ACFT WAS 370 POUNDS UNDER GROSS. PLT RPTED GS STABILIZED LOOKED NORMAL, TRACKING RWY CTRLINE WITH TOUCHDOWN POINT APPEARING JUST BEYOND DISPLACED RWY THRESHOLD. PLT RPTS PROP POS FORWARD (HIGH). MIXTURE SET FOR FULL PWR AT ELEVATION FOR POSSIBLE GAR. ACFT TOUCHDOWN NOT HARD BUT ACFT BALLOONED AND CHANGED HDG 10-20 DEGS TO L FROM WIND GUST. ACFT SETTLED TO RWY, FLAPS WERE RAISED IN ANTICIPATION OF HVY BRAKING REQUIREMENTS AS PER PLACARD. ACFT CONTINUED TRACK TO L AND PLT ELECTED TO GAR, ADDING FULL PWR WITHOUT LOWERING 15 DEG FLAPS PER PLACARD AND IN ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN UP ACFT INADVERTENTLY PUT GEAR SWITCH IN UP POS BUT REASONED WT ON GEAR WOULD KEEP GEAR DOWN UNTIL SWITCH REPOSED DOWN, WHICH PLT FAILED TO DO, EVEN THOUGH RECOGNIZED BIG MISTAKE AFTER GEAR SWITCH MOVED. ACFT APPEARED TO LEAVE RWY APPROX 1335 FT FROM THRESHOLD OR 1100 FT FROM TOUCHDOWN POINT. ON HDG OF 10 DEGS L OF RWY CTRLINE L WHEEL WAS ON GND 60 FT. AFTER LEAVING RWY ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE FOR 430 FT ALONG TRACK 50 FT TO L OF AND PARALLEL TO RWY ALONG OBSTRUCTION FREE PATH. PLT RPTED STALL WARNING HORN ON AT LOW ALT. ACFT SETTLED TO GND AND SKIDDED 230 FT. APPROX LAST 50 FT SKID ACFT TURNED 60 DEGS TO R. R WING STRUCK GND, R MAIN AND NOSE WHEEL UP. PROP CONTACTED GND. ACFT CAME TO REST 35 FT FROM L EDGE OF RWY. NO PERSONAL INJURIES OR OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE. ACFT RAISED, GEAR LOCKED DOWN, TOWED TO FBO RAMP FOR PARKING 3 HRS LATER. PLT ALSO RPTED TRANSIT OF NE CORNER OF MOA FOR 30 NM WITHOUT CONTACTING CTLING AGENCY BECAUSE MOA NOT NOTICED ON CHART DUE TO LACK OF COLOR CONTRAST.
