ATX SMA HIT TREES MAKING A GO AROUND AT O62.

Narrative

FLYING AN SMA ON A GO AROUND AT CARMEL VALLEY I CLIPPED THE TOP OF A PINE TREE. AT FIRST I OVERFLEW THE ARPT AT 1500' TO FIND DIRECTION AND TFC PATTERN. NO WIND; LEFT TFC FOR RWY 29. CAME IN FOR LNDG BUT IT DID NOT LOOK RIGHT PRIOR TO T/D BEING THAT I WOULD HAVE RUN OFF THE END OF THE RWY. SO; I DID A GO AROUND. THAT'S WHEN THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE CAUSING A 1' X 8' DEEP DENT BTWN THE RIGHT MAIN LNDG GEAR AND INBOARD FUEL TANK ON THE FORWARD LEADING EDGE. A 6' WIDE; 3' DEEP NEXT TO THE RIGHT AIR VENTS CLOSE TO THE FUSELAGE AND THE LNDG GEAR COWLING WAS BENT IN ABOUT 3'. NOBODY WAS HURT NO PROPERTY DAMAGE. CAME AROUND THE SECOND TIME WITH THE DAMAGED WING; WHICH I SAW ON DOWNWIND FOR RWY 29 AT CARMEL VALLEY. I KNEW THEN THAT I HAD TO MAKE IT THIS TIME REGARDLESS. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS ACCORDING TO COMPANY MANUAL SALINAS WERE MY FIRST ALT WHICH WAS CLEAR AND VFR. THE CARMEL VALLEY AS SECOND ALT. I DID FAMILIARIZE MYSELF WITH ALL AVAILABLE INFO. MY CHARTS READ 1800'; COMPANY MANUAL 2100'; SO I FIGURED 2000'. AFTER LNDG FOUND OUT RWY TO BE 1600' 20' WIDE; AND THE WIND HAD PICKED UP TO TAILWIND THAT'S WHY I GUESS I HAD TO GO AROUND. IT IS A DIRT STRIP TOTALLY UNCONTROLLED ARPT ON TOP OF A CLIFF MOUNTAINS; TREES AND HOUSES EVERYWHERE (I AM NOT MAKING EXCUSES) BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S A PLACE FOR BUSINESS. THIS IS NOT AN EASY AIRPLANE TO FLAIR/LAND. I WAS TOLD BY LCL PEOPLE THAT IN ABOUT 10 YRS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN A COURIER SVC IN THERE IT'S A LITTLE TOWN DIRT STRIP I THINK I SHOULD HAVE BEEN BRIEFED OR CHECKED OUT AT CARMEL VALLEY.
