Event Summary
A private pilot with only 2.5 hours logged in the previous 90 days chose to execute a go-around during an approach to a runway. During the go-around maneuver, the pilot allowed the aircraft to turn left and pitch up with the application of power. The airspeed decelerated below the stall speed. The nose-up elevator trim that had been applied during the approach was not removed during the go-around maneuver. The aircraft stalled and rotated approximately 180 degrees counterclockwise before impacting the ground. Insufficient altitude was available to enable the pilot to successfully execute a full recovery before ground impact.
Pilot Experience
The pilot held a private pilot certificate and had accumulated only 2.5 flight hours in the 90 days preceding the event. No other pilot or aircraft information was provided.
Go-Around Maneuver
The go-around was initiated while on approach. As power was applied, the aircraft's nose pitched up and the aircraft turned left. The airspeed decreased, falling below the stall speed.
Trim Condition
The elevator trim had been set to a nose-up position for the approach. This trim setting was not adjusted or removed during the go-around.
Stall and Rotation
The aircraft entered an aerodynamic stall. During the stall, the aircraft rotated approximately 180 degrees counterclockwise. The descent continued until ground impact.
Recovery Attempt
The altitude available at the time of the stall was insufficient to allow the pilot to complete a full recovery before contacting the ground.
