Incident Overview
The pilot-in-command of an aircraft conducted a preliminary overflight of an uncharted private airstrip, evaluating its size and the dimensions of the runway. The runway was described as narrow, and only approximately 900 feet of its length was considered usable. Following this assessment, the pilot attempted to land on the narrow runway.
Sequence of Events
Upon touchdown, the pilot realized that the aircraft could not be stopped on the remaining available strip. Consequently, he initiated a go-around. The aircraft became airborne but was unable to outclimb the rising terrain located beyond a small valley at the end of the strip. The aircraft subsequently collided with a tree.
Outcome
After striking the tree, the aircraft crashed into a meadow approximately 600 yards from the intended landing area. The accident sequence concluded with the aircraft resting in the meadow. The source does not provide additional details regarding the aircraft type, registration, occupant status, or injuries.
