Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Porter, Texas 77365
Monday, August 23, 2010 22:30 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The airplane bounced on landing and the pilot had trouble getting the airplane to settle back to the runway. Concerned that he was not going to be able to stop on the remaining runway, the pilot elected to perform a go-around. The pilot applied full engine power and retracted the flaps; however, the airplane settled into trees 2,200 feet beyond the departure end of the runway. The airplane subsequently impacted the ground and came to rest in a nose-down, near-vertical position. The pilot reported that the wind was light and variable at the time, and that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane prior to the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's delay in performing a go-around, which resulted in an impact with trees.
