What happened
The pilot was conducting an approach into an unfamiliar airstrip when the flight conditions deteriorated. Upon reaching the final approach phase, the pilot encountered significant turbulence combined with a tailwind component. Recognizing the unstable approach parameters, the pilot initiated a go-around maneuver at a low altitude.
During the climb-out, the aircraft was configured with full flaps extended. However, the airspeed did not increase sufficiently before the aircraft impacted trees located along the runway corridor. The collision resulted in substantial damage to the airframe.
The investigation
Post-acc examination of the wreckage confirmed that the aircraft had collided with trees along the runway during the initial climb phase of the go-around. The mechanical condition of the aircraft prior to impact was not a factor, as the failure occurred due to aerodynamic insufficiency during the maneuver.
Findings
The primary contributing factors to this accident were the pilot's decision to continue an approach into an unfamiliar airport under adverse weather conditions and the subsequent execution of a go-around at too low an altitude. The combination of turbulence, tailwind, and full flap configuration prevented the aircraft from achieving adequate climb performance and airspeed before terrain contact.
