Based on eyewitness statements which is consistent with ground scarring on the runway and surrounding terrain, the subject airplane initiated a go-around on the first landing attempt on runway 33. The aircraft joined the left traffic pattern after the go around. During the second attempt, it was stated that the aircraft came in high and fast. The aircraft was observed to touchdown more than halfway down the runway as indicated by scarring on the runway. It was stated that the aircraft landed flat which is consistent with a fast approach and began to porpoise down the runway. It is speculated that the aircraft initiated full power to execute a go-around in which there is evidence that the pitching moment due to the increase in power caused the tail to strike the runway and causing the aircraft to be yawed to the left. The yawing to the left is speculated to have been caused by the left turning tendencies of a single engine aircraft as the throttle was advanced to full. There is also ground scarring on the runway indicating a left-wing strike as the wing tip drug down the runway. There is scarring on a tree just offset to the left of the runway which shows the left-wing impacting tree branches. It is speculated that the pilot was pushing on the right rudder to make his way back to the runway centerline. However, the aircraft remained to the left side of the runway where tire tracks were identified in the dirt leading to the edge of the runway, to an approximate 50–60-degree downslope gradient. This downslope gradient is populated with heavy trees and bush. There is evidence that the aircraft struck the treetops at the departure end of the runway and continued to experience a loss of control as it came to it final resting place striking several trees on the way down.
