Incident Overview
The pilot of a small airplane performed two landing attempts, the second of which ended with a collision with trees and the airplane coming to rest in a field.
First Landing Attempt
The pilot reported aborting the first landing attempt because of a strong crosswind from the right. No further details about the first attempt were provided.
Second Landing Attempt
During the second landing attempt, a witness stated that the airplane touched down fast and beyond the midpoint of the runway. After touching down, the airplane bounced and appeared out of control.
The pilot said he aborted the second landing but was too far down the runway to climb above trees located beyond the departure end of the runway. The airplane subsequently collided with the trees and came to rest in a field.
Runway Use
Witnesses reported that the intended landing runway was runway 07, but the airplane actually landed on runway 25. The wind was reported as coming from 030 degrees at 5 knots.
