Analysis
The acft stalled into the top of a large oak tree during an attempted go-around. The pilot had been unable to maintain alignment during landing and to avoid collision with parked aircraft decided to go-around. The terrain was rising in thedirection of go-around and the pilot slowed up the aircraft to avoid an impact at higher airspeed. Before impact he said he shut everything down and pulled back on the stick to slow down and mushroom into the tree.
