Incident Summary
A pilot recounted an event involving an approach and landing at an unfamiliar airport. The pilot stated that after overflying the airport, he landed to the south, which was a downwind landing, due to the presence of power lines on the approach to the north. During the final approach, the pilot was high because of a tree in the approach path. The aircraft floated during the flare, prompting the pilot to raise the nose, at which point the right wing dropped, 'indicating stall.' The pilot then added power as he lowered the nose.
Final Approach and Landing
The aircraft was still 5 feet above ground level (AGL) while approaching the end of the runway. The pilot elected to reduce power and land. To avoid a ditch and other obstacles, he turned the aircraft into a corn field.
