Probable cause
The pilot failed to maintain directional control after making a bounched landing. Additionally, the pilot failed to add full power after the bounched landing prior to striking trees to the left of the runway.
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 plt had flown only 4 hrs during last 90 days all of which was in the accident acft. The plt reported the landing was fast and the acft bounced on touchdown. Directional control of the acft was lost and the plt attempted a go-around during which partial power was applied. The acft contacted a tree during climb out and came to rest in the bay.
