What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On July 15, 2002, at approximately 0800 central daylight time, a Cessna 150H, N22715 was substantially damaged following a loss of control during a go-around in the vicinity of a private airstrip near Omaha, Arkansas. The private pilot, who was the sole occupant and registered owner, sustained minor injuries. Upon arriving at the private airstrip, and after completing an over flight, the traffic pattern was entered. Completing the downwind to base and upon turning to the final approach phase of flight, the pilot failed to recognize the destination, identifying and executing an approach to an adjoining cow pasture. Realizing the mistake at or near the touchdown point, a go around was initiated. Full power was applied but never attained, climb airspeed was never achieved. Realizing obstacle clearance was impossible, the airman turned sharply to the right, the aircraft stalled, impacting the earth, coming to rest on the nose. The post accident on site review discovered the carburetor de-icing in the on position. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed for the 14 code of federal regulations part 91 personal flight.
