Incident Overview
A pilot who had cancelled a VFR flight plan en route due to heavy weather returned to his departure airport. During the landing, he selected full flaps because he was high on final approach. Just before touchdown, a gust of wind pushed the airplane off the left side of the runway.
Go-Around Attempt
In response, the pilot added full power and raised the flaps to 25 degrees to initiate a go-around. However, he was unable to maintain directional control of the airplane. The aircraft continued off the left side of the runway and subsequently impacted trees.
Reported Conditions
The pilot reported the wind as 300 degrees at 13 knots at the time of the event.
Investigation Findings
No probable cause has been stated for this incident.
