Weiser Air Park Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Cypress, Texas 77429
Saturday, January 29, 2011 8:25 CST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The student pilot said that he was too fast and had touched down too long on the runway when he realized the airplane would not be able to stop in the distance remaining. He applied full power to go around and the airplane became airborne at the end of the runway with an airspeed of about 55 knots. The airplane's wing struck trees at the airport boundary, causing the pilot to lose directional control. The airplane continued about 300 feet to the left of the runway centerline before impacting terrain and other obstructions and coming to rest in the back yard of a residence. There was an immediate postimpact fire.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The student pilot’s delayed decision to execute a go-around.
