Narrative:

On the morning of the event, I called griffin unicom 5 mi out requesting airport advisories, with no answer. Then, 3 mi out, and was told they were landing runway 32. I called downwind and base to final to land runway 32. Crossing the threshold my speed was 20 mph fast. I slowed to a 3-POINT attitude and floated. My airplane has a 110 kmh brake application speed so I added full power and announced my go around. I accelerated down the centerline to 200 kmh and pitched up and then rolled into a 45 degree bank. The airplane climbed rapidly as expected and I am confident I was clearly above 500 ft AGL before leaving the runway environment. I reduced power so as not to accelerate and leveled at pattern altitude. Again, making position callouts, I descended in a turning descent (for visibility) and landed. I rolled to 80 kmh well below the 110 kmh limitation because of the 90 degree F temperature and applied brakes and turned off the runway. After parking, a gentleman approached me saying he was the airport manager and was going to seek certificate action against me for performing aerobatic flight in the pattern. I tried to ask his concerns and he said he wasn't going to argue, that I had single-handedly set back public relations 10 yrs, and he got in his car and left. I do not believe he was accustomed to the performance of high speed aerobatic airplanes, and was unwilling to discuss his concerns. At no time did I exceed 45 degrees of bank or 30 degrees of pitch, nor did I perform any maneuver not normal to the performance of the airplane. The airport manager should be more open to different aircraft performance and should be willing to discuss a situation before taking action.

Title: A Z50L PLT, UNABLE TO SALVAGE A MISCALCULATED LNDG AT GRIFFIN, GA (6A2), ACCELERATED DOWN THE RWY TO A HIGH SPD, THEN PITCHED UP TO A HIGH DEG, WHILE ROLLING INTO A 45 DEG BANK TURN, TO RE-ENTER THE TFC PATTERN.

Narrative: ON THE MORNING OF THE EVENT, I CALLED GRIFFIN UNICOM 5 MI OUT REQUESTING ARPT ADVISORIES, WITH NO ANSWER. THEN, 3 MI OUT, AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE LNDG RWY 32. I CALLED DOWNWIND AND BASE TO FINAL TO LAND RWY 32. XING THE THRESHOLD MY SPD WAS 20 MPH FAST. I SLOWED TO A 3-POINT ATTITUDE AND FLOATED. MY AIRPLANE HAS A 110 KMH BRAKE APPLICATION SPD SO I ADDED FULL PWR AND ANNOUNCED MY GAR. I ACCELERATED DOWN THE CTRLINE TO 200 KMH AND PITCHED UP AND THEN ROLLED INTO A 45 DEG BANK. THE AIRPLANE CLBED RAPIDLY AS EXPECTED AND I AM CONFIDENT I WAS CLRLY ABOVE 500 FT AGL BEFORE LEAVING THE RWY ENVIRONMENT. I REDUCED PWR SO AS NOT TO ACCELERATE AND LEVELED AT PATTERN ALT. AGAIN, MAKING POS CALLOUTS, I DSNDED IN A TURNING DSCNT (FOR VISIBILITY) AND LANDED. I ROLLED TO 80 KMH WELL BELOW THE 110 KMH LIMITATION BECAUSE OF THE 90 DEG F TEMP AND APPLIED BRAKES AND TURNED OFF THE RWY. AFTER PARKING, A GENTLEMAN APCHED ME SAYING HE WAS THE ARPT MGR AND WAS GOING TO SEEK CERTIFICATE ACTION AGAINST ME FOR PERFORMING AEROBATIC FLT IN THE PATTERN. I TRIED TO ASK HIS CONCERNS AND HE SAID HE WASN'T GOING TO ARGUE, THAT I HAD SINGLE-HANDEDLY SET BACK PUBLIC RELATIONS 10 YRS, AND HE GOT IN HIS CAR AND LEFT. I DO NOT BELIEVE HE WAS ACCUSTOMED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF HIGH SPD AEROBATIC AIRPLANES, AND WAS UNWILLING TO DISCUSS HIS CONCERNS. AT NO TIME DID I EXCEED 45 DEGS OF BANK OR 30 DEGS OF PITCH, NOR DID I PERFORM ANY MANEUVER NOT NORMAL TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIRPLANE. THE ARPT MGR SHOULD BE MORE OPEN TO DIFFERENT ACFT PERFORMANCE AND SHOULD BE WILLING TO DISCUSS A SIT BEFORE TAKING ACTION.
