Incident Overview
The pilot reported being in an extended traffic pattern for runway 19. While turning final at about 10 miles from the airport, the tower controller instructed her to overfly the airport. She added power and climbed to 2000 feet, maintaining heading toward the airport. About 2 miles from the approach end of runway 19, the tower controller cleared her to land. The pilot reduced power, applied carburetor heat, and established a descent.
Go-Around and Engine Response
On short final, approximately 200 feet above the ground, the tower controller instructed a go-around. When the pilot attempted to apply power, the engine did not respond. She observed the tachometer indicating about 1000 RPM and the mixture set to rich.
Forced Landing and Post-Impact
The pilot performed a forced landing. During the landing, the airplane impacted a tree and slid into a fence. Post-accident examination of the aircraft revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunction. A functional check of the engine confirmed satisfactory operation.
