Introduction
The incident occurred during a night landing attempt at an airport unfamiliar to the pilot. The pilot reported that during the approach, he saw only blue lights, prompting him to decide to execute a go-around.
Pilot Actions During Go-Around
Upon initiating the go-around, the pilot applied full throttle. However, he did not retract the landing gear. The pilot also stated that he did not recall having any flaps extended. He then entered a left turn and mentioned that he pulled too far aft on the yoke.
Stall and Attempted Recovery
During the turn, the pilot saw the stall warning light illuminate and felt the left wing drop. To recover from the stall, he pushed forward on the yoke in an attempt to increase airspeed. After lowering the airplane's nose, he observed obstruction(s) in his path but was unable to avoid them.
Collision and Postaccident Findings
The airplane subsequently collided with a utility pole and its supporting guide cable. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical problems with the airplane before the impact. A postaccident examination of the damaged airplane found no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunction.
