Incident Overview
Two eyewitnesses, positioned within 200 meters of the takeoff point, reported observing a single-engine airplane land long on a grass pasture that was being used as a landing area. After a short landing roll, they heard engine power being applied for a go-around.
Sequence of Events
Shortly after becoming airborne, the aircraft was seen to assume a nose-high attitude. It then impacted the tops of trees that were approximately 70 feet high, located north of the departure end of the landing area. The witnesses stated that the engine sounded normal throughout the event.
Mechanical Findings
No evidence of pre-impact mechanical failure or malfunction was observed. The investigation did not identify any issues with the aircraft's systems or structure prior to the collision.
