Airplane Collides with Trees During Aborted Landing (N9921B)

Incident Overview

An airplane collided with trees following an aborted landing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.

Approach and Landing

While on final approach to the runway, the pilot observed that the airplane was above the runway's normal glide path and that the airspeed was faster than normal. The airplane touched down approximately halfway down the length of the runway with excessive speed.

Attempted Abort and Collision

As the airplane skidded down the runway and continued off the runway surface, the pilot attempted to abort the landing by moving the throttle control to the full power setting. The airplane became airborne briefly before colliding with trees off the departure end of the runway.
