What happened
Following a previous flight and subsequent refueling, the pilot operated the Cessna 150 as pilot-in-command from the rear seat, while a pilot-rated passenger occupied the front seat. The pilot reported that the initial takeoff and climb were normal. Upon entering the traffic pattern for a touch-and-go landing, the pilot applied carburetor heat while mid-field on the downwind leg.
As the aircraft approached the runway, the passenger observed the airplane drifting to the right. Immediately after touchdown, the aircraft swerved to the left. The plane continued to swerve back and forth several times before the pilot applied power in an attempt to execute a go-around. During this climb, the passenger noted that the airspeed seemed extremely slow and the rate of climb was not normal. Ultimately, the airplane impacted the tops of trees during the climbing phase.
There were no injuries reported in the accident.
