Probable cause
The pilot in command's failure to maintain proper glide path, and her failure to attain the proper touch down Point.
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
After locating the airport at Point Lookout, Missouri, the pilot circled to lose altitude to land. She states she attempted to contact UNICOM on the field for an airport advisory, but got no answer. Since she did not hear any other traffic in the area, she proceeded to make a pattern for landing. She came in too fast and the plane ballooned, so she elected for a go-around. On her next approach, she landed short of the runway and collided with an embankment.
