## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- In flight collision with terrain/water, landing
  - level off - improper, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - go-around - delayed, pilot in command (cause)
  - airspeed - not obtained, pilot in command (cause)
  - stall/mush - inadvertent, pilot in command
  - terrain condition - high vegetation (contributing factor)
- Nose over, landing

## Analysis

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE WIND SOCK WAS LIMP WHEN A LOW PASS WAS MADE AFTER ARRIVAL. REPORTEDLY, THE AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE AGAIN AFTER TOUCHDOWN. THE PILOT ELECTED TO GO AROUND, BUT AFTER LIFT-OFF, THE STALL WARNING HORN SOUNDED AND THE NOSE WAS LOWERED TO GAIN AIRSPEED. THE AIRCRAFT THEN STRUCK ARBORS IN A VINEYARD AND NOSED OVER.
