Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during a go-around maneuver in gusty crosswind conditions.
Full Narrative
At the pilot's destination airport a gusting, quartering, tailwind was striking trees and creating turbulence over the runway. During the landing, the airplane bounced three times. After the third bounce the pilot added power and elected to do a go-around. During the go-around, the wind blew the airplane to the left of the centerline of the runway, and the left wing of the airplane made contact with a tree. The airplane then pivoted 180 degrees to the left and the right wing and horizontal stabilizer struck another adjacent tree. Post accident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the wings and horizontal stabilizer were substantially damaged.
