Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot made a landing approach over trees at the approach end of the runway. The runway sloped slightly downhill in the direction of landing. The pilot landed long, then elected to go around, and during the go-around, the left wing struck a tree.
