Human Factors
Upon landing the aircraft took a hard and high bounce. The decision to reject the landing was made. The aircraft took a hard right turn and went through the grass. We retracted the flaps and performed a go-around with no further incidents.After landing and inspection of the aircraft we discovered the right wheel fairing broke off during the landing and reported it to the Tower for a runway inspection.
Grumman AA-5 pilot reported a loss of control and runway excursion.
