Accident Overview
A pilot reported that during a final approach, the aircraft encountered wind shear and stalled. This resulted in a bounced landing, after which the airplane settled and bounced again. The pilot then attempted to execute a go-around, but was unable to accelerate the aircraft to climb speed. During the go-around attempt, the airplane struck trees and crashed.
Wind Conditions
The pilot estimated that the wind was from 270 degrees at 20 knots, gusting to 30 knots. Approximately one hour after the accident, an investigating inspector landed at the accident site in a Cessna 172. The inspector noted that the wind conditions were the same as those reported by the pilot, except that the inspector did not encounter wind shear.
Investigation
The investigation is based solely on the pilot's report and the inspector's observations. No information about the aircraft type, registration, engine count, date, operator, location, occupants, injuries, or damage items was provided in the source. The source also did not specify the time of day, weather characterization, or any ATC involvement.
Commentary
This accident highlights the challenges that wind shear and gusty conditions can pose during landing and go-around maneuvers. However, the source does not provide any analysis, conclusions, or causal links, and no probable cause has been stated.
