Accident Details
A solo cross-country flight concluded with an accident during the landing phase on runway 28. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the airplane touched down once on the left side of the runway. The pilot then initiated a go-around. As full power was applied, the airplane veered to the left.
Pilot Report
The pilot stated that during the go-around, he failed to apply right rudder. The left wing dropped, and he responded by raising the nose of the airplane. This sequence resulted in an aerodynamic stall. The airplane subsequently descended into a grassy area to the left of the runway, contacting 35-foot-tall trees.
Outcome
The pilot reported that there was no mechanical malfunction before or during the event. The aircraft came to rest in the trees alongside the runway. No further details regarding the aircraft type, registration, operator, or injuries were provided in the source.
