Accident Overview
A private pilot on a personal flight decided to abort the approach for landing at the intended airport, citing discomfort with the conditions. The pilot initiated a go-around maneuver. During the go-around, the airplane's airspeed decreased to a critically low level, and the pilot reported hearing the stall warning horn. Subsequently, the airplane entered an aerodynamic stall and collided with terrain.
Aircraft Damage and Examination
The impact forces destroyed the airplane. A postaccident examination of the flight control system confirmed continuity, indicating that the controls were functioning properly before the accident. The National Transportation Safety Board noted that a Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report was not submitted by the pilot.
Sequence of Events
According to the pilot's statement, the go-around was prompted by a lack of comfort with continuing the approach. After initiating the go-around, the airplane became too slow, triggering the stall warning. The pilot was unable to prevent the stall, and the airplane struck the ground.
Investigation Findings
No other details about the aircraft type, registration, or location were provided in the source material. The investigation did not specify any mechanical failures or external factors beyond the pilot's description of the event.
