Overview
A pilot and a passenger were landing at night after completing a cross-country flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a VFR flight plan had been filed. The pilot was demonstrating a VOR approach to the passenger.
Sequence of Events
As the airplane touched down, the pilot noticed a slight tail wind and that the runway was slippery. He applied full power and executed a go-around. As the airplane began to climb, the pilot retracted the landing gear and flaps. He also began a slight left turn toward an unlit area of snow-covered terrain. The airplane collided with the terrain and a tree, causing the airplane to swerve to the right. The airplane came to rest in the snow.
Damage
The right wing, engine, propellers, and fuselage sustained damage.
