Incident Details
During arrival, the pilot chose to land on an uphill runway that had a tailwind component. She reported being high on final approach and executed a sideslip maneuver to descend to the correct altitude, using the VASI lights as a reference. As the aircraft neared the runway, a wind gust pushed it to the left of the centerline. The pilot attempted to correct back to the right but was unsuccessful. Before reaching the midfield point, she decided to perform a go-around.
Flight Path
According to the pilot, due to the aircraft's attitude during the go-around, she did not see a clump of trees ahead. The aircraft subsequently struck these trees, which were located to the left of the runway, and crashed.
Outcome
The aircraft sustained damage from the collision with the trees and crashed. No further details about injuries or aircraft damage were provided.
