Incident Overview
A pilot who was not in possession of a valid certificate attempted to land on a private field, aiming to the north. According to reports, the wind was from 160 degrees, resulting in a tailwind condition for the intended landing direction.
Sequence of Events
The pilot realized that the airplane's airspeed was too high for a safe landing on the field. The pilot attributed the excessive speed to attempting to land with a tailwind. Deciding to abort the landing, the pilot initiated a go-around.
During the climb phase of the go-around, the airplane's right wing made contact with trees situated along the edge of the field. Following the wing strike, the airplane descended and impacted the ground in a near-vertical attitude.
Contributing Factors
No analysis or causal factors were provided in the initial report. The only stated details are the actions of the non-certificated pilot and the environmental conditions at the time.
