Incident Overview
According to a passenger on board, the landing was characterized by a hard touchdown followed by several bounces, though the airplane remained centered on the runway. The pilot then decided to abort the landing and added power for a go-around. During the go-around, the airplane veered to the left of the runway centerline, placing a tree in its path. The passenger reported that the pilot responded by pulling back the power and raising the nose into a steep climb, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. The airplane subsequently impacted the ground in a left wing low attitude, followed by the nose, causing substantial damage.
Post-Incident Examination
An examination of the airplane's systems revealed no anomalies, indicating that no mechanical or system malfunctions were detected.
Passenger Account Details
The passenger stated that after the hard touchdown and bounces, the pilot added power to take off. The airplane pulled left off center, and a tree became an obstacle. The pilot reduced power and pulled the nose up steeply, stalling the airplane. The impact sequence was left wing low then nose first.
