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
On the second approach after a go-around, the aircraft landed approximately halfway down the 2850 ft runway. In an attempt to go around the pilot applied power. The aircraft started to climb but collided with the top of a tree causing the tail of the aircraft to swing around to the left. The aircraft came to rest in a creek.
