Analysis
The instructor (CFI) gave the front seat plt a simulated forced lndg while the airplane was aligned with rwy 20 & the wind. The front seat plt elected to fly a traffic pattern to rwy 2. As the front seat plt maneuvered to line up with rwy 2, much alt was lost & the final apch was about 30 deg off the rwy heading. The CFI applied power for a go- around, but was too late to avoid hitting tree tops & the gnd near the rgt side of the rwy. The front seat occupant was a rated single-eng plt & was considered the plt-in-command on this flt.
