Accident Overview
The airplane impacted a tree and a private residence after the pilot aborted the landing. The pilot reported that upon entering the pattern, the windsock indicated calm conditions. While on final approach, the airplane encountered wind shear conditions, which caused a 15 mph loss of airspeed and an increased descent rate. The pilot applied power to arrest the descent and recover airspeed, but the groundspeed increased, prompting a go-around. The pilot stated the airplane failed to accelerate or climb and was near stall speed when it impacted the tops of trees off the departure end of the runway. The airplane then pitched nose down and impacted a deck of a private residence.
Witness Report
A witness reported that the airplane was attempting to land with a tailwind and touched down on the runway, then "skipped" and took off again. The witness said the airplane was about two-thirds of the way down the length of the runway when it took off again, after which she lost sight of it behind some trees off the end of the runway and heard the sounds of the crash.
Pilot Statement
The pilot stated that he observed the windsock indicating calm conditions when entering the pattern. He described encountering wind shear on final approach, resulting in a 15 mph loss of airspeed and increased descent rate. He applied power but noted increased groundspeed, leading to the decision to go around. The pilot reported that the airplane did not accelerate or climb and was near stall speed at the time of tree impact.
