Probable cause
Failure of the pilot to maintain runway alignment and retract the flaps to the recommended setting during the go-around.
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
While landing on the 1,800 ft grass/coral runway with a 60 degree crosswind at 15 KTS, the acft touched down with full flaps 1/3 down the rwy. Realizing he would be unable to stop the acft on the remaining rwy, the plt attempted to go-around with full flaps. The acft drifted off the left side of the rwy, collided with trees, then came to rest in a creek.
