Analysis
The acft landed long and in attempting a go-around crashed off the rwy on the arpt. The plt said she made her approach to rwy 34 at Shoshone CA and touched down slightly beyond the middle of the 2380 ft rwy in no wind conditions. She then attempted a go-around by applying full power. The engine hesitated but she pulled back on the stick and became airborne. The acft stalled a few ft off the ground. The plt then lowered the nose but did not have enough altitude to recover. She then retarded the power and contacted the ground beyond and to the left of the rwy.
