What happened
During an approach to land, the pilot initiated a go-around. Shortly after commencing the climb, the aircraft crossed over wires and subsequently touched down on the first half of the runway. The pilot applied brakes while rolling on the wet grass surface but noted a lack of braking action. Recognizing the situation, he applied power to attempt another go-around. However, it became apparent that the aircraft would not clear the trees ahead. Consequently, the pilot aborted the go-around maneuver. The aircraft continued forward, went off the end of the runway, and came to rest in a wooded ravine.
Findings
The sequence of events indicates that the initial failure to clear obstacles during the first go-around led to a high-energy touchdown. The subsequent inability to stop on the wet grass surface necessitated a second attempt at climb-out. The decision to abort this second go-around was driven by the realization that sufficient altitude and distance were not available to safely clear the terrain beyond the runway end.
Safety message
This incident highlights the critical importance of obstacle clearance margins during go-around procedures, particularly in conditions where braking action may be compromised. Pilots must ensure that a go-around is initiated with adequate safety buffers and that alternative landing sites are considered if the initial attempt cannot be completed safely.
