Event Summary
A pilot who had flown off course and become disoriented attempted to land at an unfamiliar airport. During the approach, he made three passes down the runway but was unable to see a wind sock. He then landed on Runway 19, touching down on the numbers and applying brakes. When the airplane did not slow down as expected, he applied full power to take off again. The airplane became airborne and contacted trees near the end of the runway.
Witness Account
A witness reported that the airplane touched down, then porpoised on the runway prior to taking off. The porpoising motion was observed before the pilot initiated the go-around.
Wind Conditions
The pilot reported that the last wind information he received from flight service indicated winds from 330 degrees at 10 mph. However, a witness reported that local winds at the time were from 350 degrees at 9 knots. The discrepancy in wind direction and speed may have contributed to the pilot's inability to see the wind sock, although this is not explicitly stated in the source.
