Incident Overview
A pilot flying over Lake Havasu observed that approximately two hours remained before meeting friends. Deciding to engage in sightseeing, the pilot flew along the lake and spotted a small airstrip closer to the intended destination. The pilot elected to land at that strip.
Landing and Go-Around
Entering the traffic pattern for the southbound runway, the pilot touched down in a normal position. Immediately after touchdown, a 'rain erosion depression' was noticed across the dirt airstrip. The pilot aborted the landing and initiated a go-around.
Evasive Maneuver
During the go-around, the pilot observed a large rock hill at the departure end of the runway. Assessing that the aircraft's climb rate would not allow it to clear the hill, the pilot began a left turn to avoid the rising terrain. During the turn, the left wing struck the ground, resulting in a crash.
Conclusion
No further details regarding the aircraft or injuries were provided in the source. The accident sequence highlights the challenges of unimproved airstrips and terrain avoidance during go-arounds.
