Accident Summary
A newly certificated private pilot encountered adverse weather conditions while attempting to land. The approach was affected by turbulence, gusty winds, and windshear, which caused the airplane to deviate from the intended flight path.
Sequence of Events
During the landing attempt, the airplane drifted left of the runway centerline. The pilot attempted to correct the deviation using rudder input. This corrective action resulted in the airplane turning to the right, accompanied by an increasing sink rate and a decay in airspeed. Recognizing the unstable approach, the pilot initiated a go-around.
Despite the application of full power, the sink rate was not arrested. The airplane continued to descend while turning to the right. The descent could not be halted, and the airplane ultimately impacted a lake situated on a golf course. The point of impact was approximately 100 yards from the runway.
Circumstances
The pilot held a newly issued private pilot certificate. The conditions at the time included turbulence, gusty winds, and windshear, which likely challenged the pilot's experience level. The accident sequence involved a loss of directional control during the landing attempt and an unsuccessful go-around that ended in the lake impact. No further details about the aircraft or any injuries were provided in the source.
